Creates a CDATA node.
Class XmlNode() Foundation
Class function of the XmlNode class.
Description
Instances of the XmlNode class represent nodes in XML documents. XmlNode objects provide interfaces for navigating the node hierarchy in the XML document, for manipulating attributes and content, as well as for adding or removing nodes, and for serializing XML documents.
XmlNode objects are created implicitly by the XmlSimpleParser() function while parsing an XML document.
XmlNode objects can also be created explicitly using class methods such as :createComment(), :createDocument() or :createElement(). This approach in conjunction with the :addChild()method allows the comfortable programmatic construction of complex XML documents, which subsequently can be serialized to a character string using the:toXML() method.
Creating Nodes
:createCData()
:createComment()
Creates a comment node.
:createDocument()
Creates a document node representing an XML document.
:createElement()
Creates an element node.
