Answer / sundaram
PCDATA – parsed character data. It parse/navigates to all
the data/text in an xml document.
Eg:
<name>
<first>prem</first>
<last>kumar</last>
</name>
Here, the name element contains 2 more
elements “first”,”last”. So it parse further to get the
data/text of first and last to give the value of name
as “premkumar”
CDATA – unparsed characted Data. This is the data that
should not be parsed further in an xml document.
<name>
<![CDATA[
<first>prem</first>
<last>kumar</last>
]]>
</name>
Here, the value of name will be
<first>prem</first><last>kumar</last>.

Answer / sridhar
PCDATA - Parsed Character Data means the XML Parser examins
the data whether the value/text contains entity or not if
it is then it will be replaced for example < should be
given as <
Where as CDATA means The XML parser will not validate
value/text inside the CDATA tag. It is useful for passing
value/text directly to the required application as it is.
