Description
The PBDOM_PROCESSINGINSTRUCTION class defines behavior for an XML processing instruction. Methods allow you to obtain the target of the processing instruction object as well as its data. You can always access the data as a string, and, where appropriate, as name/value pairs.
Note that the actual processing instruction of a processing instruction object is a string, even if the instruction is divided into separate name="value" pairs. PBDOM does support such a processing instruction object format. If the processing instruction object data does contain pairs, as is commonly the case, then PBDOM_PROCESSINGINSTRUCTION parses them into an internal list of name/value pairs.
The PBDOM_PROCESSINGINSTRUCTION object is no longer supported to add and modify declarations. An exception will be thrown when the node name of PBDOM_PROCESSINGINSTRUCTION is set to "XML".
