Adding a CDATA Section to a DOM Document
If `]]>' appears in the CDATA section's text, the default XML
writers in J2SE 1.4 automatically break the CDATA section into two
CDATA sections; `]]' will appear at the end of the first section
while `>' will appear at the beginning of the second section.
This is the sample input for the example:
The resulting XML from running the example is:
// Obtain an XML document; this method is implemented in
// The Quintessential Program to Create a DOM Document from an XML File
Document doc = parseXmlFile("infilename.xml", false);
// Add a CDATA section to the root element
Element element = doc.getDocumentElement();
CDATASection cdata = doc.createCDATASection("data");
element.appendChild(cdata);
// If "]]>" appears in the text, two CDATA sections will be written out
cdata = doc.createCDATASection("more]]>data");
element.appendChild(cdata);
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<map>
<entry key="key1" value="value1" />
<entry key="key2" />
</map>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<map>
<entry key="key1" value="value1"/>
<entry key="key2"/>
<![CDATA[data]]><![CDATA[more]]]]><![CDATA[>data]]></map>
