ProcessingInstruction (dom4j 2.1.3 API)

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, Node

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractProcessingInstruction, DefaultProcessingInstruction, DOMProcessingInstruction, FlyweightProcessingInstruction
```
public interface ProcessingInstruction
extends Node
```
ProcessingInstruction defines an XML processing instruction. The Node.getName()method will return the target of the PI and the Node.getText()method will return the data from all of the instructions.

- Method Detail
  - getTarget
```
java.lang.String getTarget()
```
    This method is the equivalent to the Node.getName()method. It is added for clarity.
    
    Returns:
    
    the target of this PI
  - setTarget
```
void setTarget(java.lang.String target)
```
    This method is the equivalent to the Node.setName(java.lang.String)method. It is added for clarity.
    
    Parameters:
    
    target - DOCUMENT ME!
  - getText
```
java.lang.String getText()
```
    DOCUMENT ME!
    
    Specified by:
    
    getText in interface Node
    
    Returns:
    
    the text for all the data associated with the processing instruction
  - getValue
```
java.lang.String getValue(java.lang.String name)
```
    Returns the value of a specific name in the PI.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - is the name of the attribute to lookup.
    
    Returns:
    
    the value of the named attribute
  - getValues
```
java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> getValues()
```
    DOCUMENT ME!
    
    Returns:
    
    the values for this processing instruction as a Map
  - setValue
```
void setValue(java.lang.String name,
              java.lang.String value)
```
  - setValues
```
void setValues(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> data)
```
  - removeValue
```
boolean removeValue(java.lang.String name)
```
