The only delimiter that is + * recognized in a CDATA section is the "]]>" string that ends the CDATA + * section. CDATA sections cannot be nested. Their primary purpose is for + * including material such as XML fragments, without needing to escape all + * the delimiters. + *

The CharacterData.data attribute holds the text that is + * contained by the CDATA section. Note that this may contain characters that need to be escaped outside of CDATA sections and + * that, depending on the character encoding ("charset") chosen for + * serialization, it may be impossible to write out some characters as part + * of a CDATA section. + *

The CDATASection interface inherits from the + * CharacterData interface through the Text + * interface. Adjacent CDATASection nodes are not merged by use + * of the normalize method of the Node interface. + *

No lexical check is done on the content of a CDATA section and it is + * therefore possible to have the character sequence "]]>" + * in the content, which is illegal in a CDATA section per section 2.7 of [XML 1.0]. The + * presence of this character sequence must generate a fatal error during + * serialization or the cdata section must be splitted before the + * serialization (see also the parameter "split-cdata-sections" + * in the DOMConfiguration interface). + *

Note: Because no markup is recognized within a + * CDATASection, character numeric references cannot be used as + * an escape mechanism when serializing. Therefore, action needs to be taken + * when serializing a CDATASection with a character encoding + * where some of the contained characters cannot be represented. Failure to + * do so would not produce well-formed XML. + *

Note: One potential solution in the serialization process is to + * end the CDATA section before the character, output the character using a + * character reference or entity reference, and open a new CDATA section for + * any further characters in the text node. Note, however, that some code + * conversion libraries at the time of writing do not return an error or + * exception when a character is missing from the encoding, making the task + * of ensuring that data is not corrupted on serialization more difficult. + *
