DOMCDATASection - object description

DOMCDATA sections are used to escape blocks of text containing characters that would otherwise be regarded as markup. CDATA sections start with "<![CDATA[". The only delimiter that is recognized in a CDATA section is the "]]>" string that ends the CDATA section. DOMCDATA sections cannot be nested. Their primary purpose is for including material such as XML fragments, without needing to escape all the delimiters.
