DOM Central contains information about how to use the Document Object Model (DOM) to create standards-compliant DHTML and dynamic web applications. DOM refers to how browsers and other software represent documents as objects to dynamically access and modify a document´s contents.

Our XML tests used SAX (Simple API for XML) and DOM (Document Object Model), depending on the parser's architecture. All the Java parsers (that is, all but Microsoft) include the SAX API; all the validating parsers (that is, all but XP) have the DOM API.

The Document Object Model, Level 1 , became a W3C Recommendation on October 1, 1998. Since that time, it has been implemented in several different software products, both free and commercial.

The DOM to SAX example is Microsoft® Visual Basic® code that executes when you click a command button on the application form.

Introduction to JDOM.

The Java API for XML Processing (JAXP) encompasses three distinct Java APIs designed to process XML content using Java technology. These include SAX (Simple API for XML), DOM (Document Object Model), and XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations). Last month we looked at SAX, which serially parses an XML document. This column will examine the details of DOM and contrast it with SAX.

This example uses SAXDOMIX to do mixed SAX-DOM parsing. Download Java source code, compiled classes and full documentation.

Under DOM, all XML documents have a root node. Each document must have one and only one root node. In our sample XML document, travel.xml, the root node is Recordset, and can be written in the XML document as ... . The nesting of the elements within an XML document is what defines the tree structure. The root node has one or more child nodes. Each child node can have one or more additional child nodes. Travelpackage is the child node of Recordset. Child nodes are nested inside their parent node.

One of my favorite things about JDOM is that 90% of the time, it works exactly like I expect it to work. I don’t have to look at the documentation because my best guess is almost always right. This is only sometimes true for SAX and almost never true for DOM. For example, suppose you wanted to create the JDOM representation of this element:

With Breeze, there’s no coding to the Document Object Model. This saves time, money and headaches. With Breeze, developers can work with XML the way they want to work - using JavaBeans!

The authoritative reference is the official Python Library documentation page on the xml.dom module.

XML::LibXML provides an lightwight interface to modify node of the document tree generated by the XML::LibXML parser. This interface follows as far as possible the DOM Level 3 specification. Additionally to the specified functions the XML::LibXML supports some functions that are more handy to use in the perl environment.

Fusion XML DOM MicroParser organizes XML data items into a W3C compliant tree structure for use by an application program. Provides a C implementation of the DOM standard. Supports the DOM Level 2 and extends the DOM standard with numerous convenience functions. Very small memory footprint.

Dennis Sosnoski has published benchmarks of various XML document object model APIs for Java, including DOM, dom4j, JDOM and Electric.

The HttpRequest object provides client-side communication with a server.

W3C's Document Object Model (DOM) is a standard Application Programming Interface (API) to the structure of documents; it aims to make it easy for programmers to access components and to delete, add, or edit their content, attributes and style. In essence, the DOM makes it possible for programmers to write applications which work properly on all browsers and servers and on all platforms. While programmers may need to use different programming languages, they do not need to change their programming model.

One of the most powerful things you can do with XML is to manipulate the XML as a series of objects in a tree hierarchy. There is a PHP extension called XMLDOM that allows you to do this.

"XML, the Extensible Markup Language, is a universal syntax for describing and structuring data independent from the application logic. XML can be used to define unlimited languages for specific industries and applications. ... XML promises to simplify and lower the cost of data interchange and publishing in a Web environment. XML is a text-based syntax that is readable by both computer and humans.

The Document Object Model is a platform- and language-neutral interface that will allow programs and scripts to dynamically access and update the content, structure and style of documents. The document can be further processed and the results of that processing can be incorporated back into the presented page. This is an overview of DOM-related materials here at W3C and around the web.

DOM, or Document Object Model is a specification of programming interfaces, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The DOM defines interfaces that allow programmers to navigate XML documents and also to manipulate their content and structure.
