DOMCHARACTERDATA

DOMCHARACTERDATA represents the handle type for DOM character data nodes, used for unified processing of character data nodes such as text and CDATA. It can be used with GETDATA to retrieve the character content. This handle itself is opaque and is only used for input/output to DOM-related APIs; its internal structure cannot be directly accessed.

Syntax

character_data DBMS_XMLDOM.DOMCHARACTERDATA;

Parameters

Return value

Character data node handle.

Usage instructions

DOMCHARACTERDATA is typically obtained by converting a generic DOMNODE using MAKECHARACTERDATA; the text content can be read using GETDATA.

Examples

DECLARE
  character_data DBMS_XMLDOM.DOMCHARACTERDATA;
BEGIN
  NULL;
END;
