Description

The Text interface represents the textual content (termed character data in XML) of an Element or Attribute

Note: XML refers to this text content as character data and distinguishes it from markup - the tags that modify that character data. If there is no markup inside an element, that element's text is contained in a single cXmlDomTextNode object that is the child of the element. If there is markup inside an element, it is parsed into child elements that are siblings of the cXmlDomTextNode object(s). Note that the content of the markup elements also appears within text nodes, which are the children of the specific markup element.

Using the XML Classes

The cXmlDomDocument class is the starting point for most XML processing. Refer to the cXmlDomDocument class for more information about the XML Document Object Model (DOM) and using XML within DataFlex. Samples are provided in this section.
