- Method Detail
  - getTarget
```
String getTarget()
```
    A string representing the target part of the processing instruction (an XML name).
  - getContent
```
String getContent()
```
    A string representing the content of the processing instruction, excluding the target and any white space immediately following it. If there is no such content, the value of this property will be an empty string.
  - getBaseUri
```
String getBaseUri()
```
    The base URI of the PI. Note that if an infoset is serialized as an XML document, it will not be possible to preserve the base URI of any PI that originally appeared at the top level of an external entity, since there is no syntax for PIs corresponding to the xml:base attribute on elements.
  - getNotation
```
XmlNotation getNotation()
```
    The notation information item named by the target. If there is no declaration for a notation with that name, this property has no value. If no declaration has been read, but the [all declarations processed] property of the document information item is false (so there may be an unread declaration), then the value of this property is unknown.
  - getParent
```
XmlContainer getParent()
```
    The document, element, or document type definition information item which contains this information item in its [children] property.
