∟What Is DOM (Document Object Model)

This section provides a quick introduction of DOM (Document Object Model) - an Application Programming Interface (API) that represents an XML file as a document object.

What Is DOM (Document Object Model)? DOM is an Application Programming Interface (API) that represents an XML file as a document object, which allows application programs to manage the information contained in the document object through the interface.

DOM has been implemented in many languages:

• DOM has been implemented in Java since Java 1.4.
• DOM has been implemented in PHP since PHP 4.
• DOM has been implemented in Perl as add-on module, XML::DOM, developed by Enno Derkson.
• DOM has been implemented in JavaScript and Web browsers supporting JavaScript.
• DOM has been implemented in VBScript and Web browsers supporting VBScript.

The Apache Xerces is an Apache project that produces implementations of DOM for 3 programming languages. See http://xerces.apache.org/ for more information.

• Apache Xerces C++ - A processor for parsing, validating, serializing and manipulating XML, written in C++.
• Apache Xerces2 Java - A processor for parsing, validating, serializing and manipulating XML, written in Java.
• Apache Xerces Perl - A processor for parsing, validating, serializing and manipulating XML, written in Perl.
