Introduction to the DOM

 

The Document Object Model (DOM) presents an easily processed standardized interpretation of an XML document to applications and scripts. The DOM implementation in Microsoft® XML Core Services (MSXML) allows you to load or create a document; gather errors, if any; access and manipulate the information and structures contained within the document; and save the document back out to an XML file, if necessary.

This introduction contains the following topics:
