XML DOM Methods

XML DOM contains interfaces that represent different types of information that can be found in an XML document, such as elements and text.

These interfaces include the methods and properties needed to work with these objects.

Properties define node characteristics, while methods provide ways to manipulate nodes.

The following table lists the DOM classes and interfaces:

Interface	Description
DOMImplementation	It provides a number of methods for performing operations that are independent of any particular instance of the document object model.
DocumentFragment	It is the "lightweight" or "minimal" document object, and it (as the superclass of Document) anchors the XML/HTML tree in a full-fledged document.
Document	It represents the XML document's top-level node, which provides access to all the nodes in the document, including the root element.
Node	It represents XML node.
NodeList	It represents a read-only list of Node objects.
NamedNodeMap	It represents collections of nodes that can be accessed by name.
Data	It extends Node with a set of attributes and methods for accessing character data in the DOM.
Attribute	It represents an attribute in an Element object.
Element	It represents the element node. Derives from Node.
Text	It represents the text node. Derives from CharacterData.
Comment	It represents the comment node. Derives from CharacterData.
ProcessingInstruction	It represents a "processing instruction". It is used in XML as a way to keep processor-specific information in the text of the document.
CDATA Section	It represents the CDATA Section. Derives from Text.
Entity	It represents an entity. Derives from Node.
EntityReference	This represent an entity reference in the tree. Derives from Node.
