Abstract

The Document Object Model (DOM) level one provides a mechanism for software developers and web script authors to access and manipulate parsed HTML and XML content. This document describes the XML component of the Document Object Model, and provides access to XML specific content, as well as any associated document type definition. The level of support provided by this level one specification is sufficient to represent all XML content, and to allow XML validity checkers to be written using the APIs contained herein.

Status of this document

This document is part of the Document Object Model Specification

[Ed note: This document is a placeholder for the "real" XML DOM API document. ]
