Method Detail

### getTarget

    public java.lang.String getTarget()

  The target of this processing instruction. XML defines this as being the first token following the markup that begins the processing instruction.

### getData

    public java.lang.String getData()

  The content of this processing instruction. This is from the first non white space character after the target to the character immediately preceding the `?>`.
  Throws:
    `DOMException` - NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is readonly.

### setData

    public void setData(java.lang.String data)
                 throws DOMException

  The content of this processing instruction. This is from the first non white space character after the target to the character immediately preceding the `?>`.
  Throws:
    `DOMException` - NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is readonly.
