Package org.w3c.dom

Provides the interfaces for the Document Object Model (DOM).

See: Description

Interface Summary
Interface Description
Attr

The Attr interface represents an attribute in an Element object.

CDATASection

CDATA sections are used to escape blocks of text containing characters that would otherwise be regarded as markup.

CharacterData

The CharacterData interface extends Node with a set of attributes and methods for accessing character data in the DOM.

Comment

This interface inherits from CharacterData and represents the content of a comment, i.e., all the characters between the starting ' <!--' and ending '-->'.

Document

The Document interface represents the entire HTML or XML document.

DocumentFragment

DocumentFragment is a "lightweight" or "minimal" Document object.

DocumentType

Each Document has a doctype attribute whose value is either null or a DocumentType object.

DOMConfiguration

The DOMConfiguration interface represents the configuration of a document and maintains a table of recognized parameters.

DOMError

DOMError is an interface that describes an error.

DOMErrorHandler

DOMErrorHandler is a callback interface that the DOM implementation can call when reporting errors that happens while processing XML data, or when doing some other processing (e.g.

DOMImplementation

The DOMImplementation interface provides a number of methods for performing operations that are independent of any particular instance of the document object model.

DOMImplementationList

The DOMImplementationList interface provides the abstraction of an ordered collection of DOM implementations, without defining or constraining how this collection is implemented.

DOMImplementationSource

This interface permits a DOM implementer to supply one or more implementations, based upon requested features and versions, as specified in DOM Features.

DOMLocator

DOMLocator is an interface that describes a location (e.g.

DOMStringList

The DOMStringList interface provides the abstraction of an ordered collection of DOMString values, without defining or constraining how this collection is implemented.

Element

The Element interface represents an element in an HTML or XML document.

Entity

This interface represents a known entity, either parsed or unparsed, in an XML document.

EntityReference

EntityReference nodes may be used to represent an entity reference in the tree.

NamedNodeMap

Objects implementing the NamedNodeMap interface are used to represent collections of nodes that can be accessed by name.

NameList

The NameList interface provides the abstraction of an ordered collection of parallel pairs of name and namespace values (which could be null values), without defining or constraining how this collection is implemented.

Node

The Node interface is the primary datatype for the entire Document Object Model.

NodeList

The NodeList interface provides the abstraction of an ordered collection of nodes, without defining or constraining how this collection is implemented.

Notation

This interface represents a notation declared in the DTD.

ProcessingInstruction

The ProcessingInstruction interface represents a "processing instruction", used in XML as a way to keep processor-specific information in the text of the document.

Text

The Text interface inherits from CharacterData and represents the textual content (termed character data in XML) of an Element or Attr.

TypeInfo

The TypeInfo interface represents a type referenced from Element or Attr nodes, specified in the schemas associated with the document.

UserDataHandler

When associating an object to a key on a node using Node.setUserData() the application can provide a handler that gets called when the node the object is associated to is being cloned, imported, or renamed.

Exception Summary
Exception Description
DOMException

DOM operations only raise exceptions in "exceptional" circumstances, i.e., when an operation is impossible to perform (either for logical reasons, because data is lost, or because the implementation has become unstable).

Package org.w3c.dom Description

Provides the interfaces for the Document Object Model (DOM). Supports the Document Object Model Level 2 Core APIi, Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core, and Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Load and Save.
