package nu.xom;

This class represents an XML processing instruction. Each processing instruction has two key properties:

  • The target, a non-colonized name
  • The data, a string which does not contain the two character sequence ?>. The syntax of the data depends completely on the processing instruction. Other than forbidding ?>, XML defines no rules for processing instruction data.

Create a processing instruction with a certain target and data.

Params:
  • target – the target of the processing instruction
  • data – the processing instruction data
Throws:

Create a copy of a processing instruction.

Returns the processing instruction target.
