XML CDataSection

CData sections in the XML message are represented by the CDataSection value element. The content of the CDataSection element is the value of the CDataSection element without the <![CDATA[ that marks its beginning and the ]]> that marks its end.

For example, the following Cdata section:

    <![CDATA[<greeting>Hello, world!</greeting>]]>

is represented by a CDataSection element with a string value of:

    "<greeting>Hello, world!</greeting>"

Unlike Content, occurrences of <, >, &, ", and ' are not translated to their escape sequences when the CDataSection is written out to a serialized message (bit stream).
