## Interface Comment

- All Superinterfaces:
    CharacterData, Node

      public interface Comment
      extends CharacterData

  This interface inherits from `CharacterData` and represents the content of a comment, i.e., all the characters between the starting ' `<!--`' and ending '`-->`'. Note that this is the definition of a comment in XML, and, in practice, HTML, although some HTML tools may implement the full SGML comment structure.

  No lexical check is done on the content of a comment and it is therefore possible to have the character sequence `"--"` (double-hyphen) in the content, which is illegal in a comment per section 2.5 of [XML 1.0]. The presence of this character sequence must generate a fatal error during serialization.

  See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification.
