Detailed Description

A processing instruction can be used to add instructions to an XML document which is needed and can be used by specific XML processing software. The data of a processing instruction has no particular format and can contain plain Text or XML-like attribute/value-associations.

To access the target, which may for example be a identifier for a specific XML processor, the method target() can be used. To access the data for this processor the method data() can be used.
