XML DOM
This lesson is part of XML · All levels
Summary
A DOM (Document Object Model) converts an XML document into a tree object that can be accessed and modified through a programming language. Each element, attribute, and text becomes a node available through a standard API such as getElementsByTagName or querySelector. With DOM, an application can read, add, modify, or even delete XML content dynamically.
Key points
- DOM represents XML as an object tree in memory
- Every XML part becomes a program-accessible node.
- The standard DOM API is used across languages and browsers
- DOM allows reading and modifying documents simultaneously
- Changes through DOM are immediately visible on the document object.
