CDATA stands for Character Data and it means that the data in between these strings includes data that could be interpreted as XML markup, but should not be. The key differences between CDATA and comments are: As Richard points out, CDATA is still part of the document, while a comment is not.

The term CDATA, meaning character data, is used for distinct, but related, purposes in the markup languages SGML and XML. The term indicates that a certain portion of the document is general character data, rather than non-character data or character data with a more specific, limited structure.

2023年4月5日 · XML Character data (CDATA) is defined as Blocks of texts and a type of XML Node recognized by the mark-up languages but are not parsed by the parsers. This is used to solve the inclusion of the mathematical term in the XML document.

CDATA is defined as blocks of text that are not parsed by the parser, but are otherwise recognized as markup. The predefined entities such as <, >, and & require typing and are generally difficult to read in the markup. In such cases, CDATA section can be used.

2024年8月28日 · CDATA, short for Character Data, is used in XML documents to include blocks of text that should not be treated as markup. This feature is particularly useful when embedding XML or HTML data within an XML document.

2024年5月13日 · CDATA sections in XML are used to include text that shouldn't be parsed by the XML parser, such as special characters or reserved words. You can read CDATA content in JavaScript by parsing the XML and accessing the content.

The CDATASection object represents a CDATA section in a document. A CDATA section contains text that will NOT be parsed by a parser. Tags inside a CDATA section will NOT be treated as markup and entities will not be expanded.

2012年11月29日 · If you really need a CDATA section (see Jon's answer), you can achieve that like so: This will replace the contents of xnode, not append to it. Use Node.InnerXml, not Node.InnerText. Node.InnerText is automatically replacing special values. Note that if you specify with CDATA in InnerXml, then Node.InnerText is text in CDATA. Example:

CDATA is text that will not be parsed by a parser. Tags inside the text will not be treated as markup and entities will not be expanded. By default, everything is PCDATA. In the following example, ignoring the root, <bar> will be parsed, and it'll have no content, but one child.

2022年8月19日 · CDATA sections can appear inside element content and allow < and & character literals to appear. A CDATA section begins with the character sequence <! [CDATA [ and ends with the character sequence ]]>. Between the two character sequences, an XML processor ignores all markup characters such as <, >, and &.
