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.
