Class ProcessingInstruction

AI-generated Key Takeaways

ProcessingInstruction represents an XML ProcessingInstruction node.
It includes methods to detach the node, get its raw data, retrieve its parent element, get its target, and get its text value.
The detach() method removes the node from its parent, returning the detached node.
The getData() method returns the raw data of the instructions within the node as a string.
The getParentElement() method returns the parent Element node or null if no parent exists.
The getTarget() method returns the target of the ProcessingInstruction node as a string.
The getValue() method returns the combined text value of all direct and indirect child nodes as a string.

A representation of an XML ProcessingInstruction node.

Method	Return type	Brief description
`detach()`	`Content`	Detaches the node from its parent `Element` node.
`getData()`	`String`	Gets the raw data for every instruction in the `ProcessingInstruction` node.
`getParentElement()`	`Element`	Gets the node's parent `Element` node.
`getTarget()`	`String`	Gets the target for the `ProcessingInstruction` node.
`getValue()`	`String`	Gets the text value of all nodes that are direct or indirect children of the node, in the order they appear in the document.

Detaches the node from its parent Element node. If the node does not have a parent, this method has no effect.

Content — the detached node

Gets the raw data for every instruction in the ProcessingInstruction node.

String — the raw data for every instruction in the ProcessingInstruction node

Gets the node's parent Element node. If the node does not have a parent, this method returns null.

Element — the parent Element node

Gets the target for the ProcessingInstruction node.

String — the target for the ProcessingInstruction node

Gets the text value of all nodes that are direct or indirect children of the node, in the order they appear in the document.

String — the text value of all nodes that are direct or indirect children of the node
