IXMLDOMCharacterData does not directly correspond to any node type. Methods are reused by IXMLDOMCDATASection, IXMLDOMComment, and IXMLDOMText. These methods handle large amounts of text, including sizes larger than can be manipulated natively using string constructs.
Implementation: msxml5.dll, msxml2.lib
Header and IDL files: msxml2.h, msxml2.idl
