XML DOM Objects

---

This part of the XML Document Object Model (DOM) reference describes the programming object syntax for script developers. The following tables list the XML DOM programming objects by category.

XML DOM Base Interfaces

The following objects represent implementations of the XML DOM base interfaces. The objects include Microsoft extensions to support namespaces, data types, XML schemas, XSL operations, asynchronous loading, and to save documents.

XMLDOMDocument	Represents the top node of the XML DOM tree.
XMLDOMNode	Represents a single node in the document tree; the base interface for accessing data in the XML object model. Valid node types are defined in the DOMNodeType enumeration. This interface includes support for data types, namespaces, DTDs, and XML schemas.
XMLDOMNodeList	Supports iteration and indexed access operations on the live collection of XMLDOMNode objects.
XMLDOMNamedNodeMap	Provides iteration and access by name to the collection of attributes. This interface includes support for namespaces.
XMLDOMParseError	Returns detailed information about the last error, including the line number, character position, and a text description.
XMLHttpRequest	Provides client-side protocol support for communication with HTTP servers.
XTLRuntime	Implements methods that can be called from XSL style sheets.

DOM Object Interfaces

The following interfaces represent implementations of the XML DOM object interfaces.

XMLDOMAttribute	Represents an attribute object.
XMLDOMCDATASection	Quotes or escapes blocks of text so that text is not interpreted as markup language.
XMLDOMCharacterData	Provides text manipulation methods used by several objects.
XMLDOMComment	Represents the content of an XML comment.
XMLDOMDocumentFragment	Represents a lightweight object that is useful for tree insert operations.
XMLDOMDocumentType	Contains information associated with the document type declaration.
XMLDOMElement	Represents the element object.
XMLDOMEntity	Represents a parsed or unparsed entity in the XML document.
XMLDOMEntityReference	Represents an entity reference node.
XMLDOMImplementation	Provides methods that are independent of any particular instance of the document object model.
XMLDOMNotation	Contains a notation declared in the DTD or schema.
XMLDOMProcessingInstruction	Represents a processing instruction, which XML defines to keep processor-specific information in the text of the document.
XMLDOMText	Represents the text content of an element or attribute.

The DOMNodeType enumeration lists all valid node types.
