Interface Comment
-
- All Superinterfaces:
- CharacterData, Node
public interface Comment extends CharacterData
This interface inherits fromCharacterData
and represents the content of a comment, i.e., all the characters between the starting '<!--
' and ending '-->
'. Note that this is the definition of a comment in XML, and, in practice, HTML, although some HTML tools may implement the full SGML comment structure.No lexical check is done on the content of a comment and it is therefore possible to have the character sequence
"--"
(double-hyphen) in the content, which is illegal in a comment per section 2.5 of [XML 1.0]. The presence of this character sequence must generate a fatal error during serialization.See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification.
