Categorized request examples and articles tagged with [cdata] keyword What is the CDATA in XML?
CDATA (meaning character data) is used for different but related purposes in the SGML and XML markup languages. The term CDATA is used for textual data that should not be parsed by an XML parser. The characters "<" and "&" are not allowed within XML elements. The "<" character will throw an error because the parser will interpret it as the start of a new element. The "&" character will throw an error because the parser will interpret it as the start of a character entity. The parser completely ignores everything inside the CDATA section. The CDATA section starts with "<![CDATA[" and ends with "]]>".
