XML Information Set Elements in the XML Assembler Pipeline Component

The XML Assembler component handles XML information set elements as follows.

Element	Description
comment	Comments are preserved between opening and closing XML tags in the document.
CDATA	CDATA is preserved between opening and closing XML tags in the document. CDATA values are not used for property promotion or distinguished fields.
processing instructions	Processing instructions located before the document XML tag are handled based on their value (for more information, see Processing Instructions in the XML Assembler Pipeline Component). Processing instructions between document open and close tags are preserved. Processing instructions after the closing XML tag are ignored, as are any instructions before, in, or after the envelope.
XML declaration	The XML declaration string, such as `<?xml version='1.0'? encoding='UTF-8'>`, may be preserved by the XML Assembler pipeline component. This is controlled by the Add XML declaration property, or its equivalent on the message context, XMLNorm.AddXMLDeclaration. If this option is set to True then the XML declaration will be added to the document. If the XML declaration already existed, it will be overwritten. If this option is set to False, no XML declaration will be added and any existing XML declaration will be removed. The value of this property in the message context takes precedence over the value specified in Pipeline Designer. Default value: True (the XML declaration is always added)
