    Interfaces
    
  
  
    
      
        | Attr | The Attrinterface represents an attribute in anElementobject. | 
      
    
      
        | CDATASection | CDATA sections are used to escape blocks of text containing characters that
 would otherwise be regarded as markup. | 
      
    
      
        | CharacterData | The CharacterDatainterface extends Node with a set of
 attributes and methods for accessing character data in the DOM. | 
      
    
      
        | Comment | This interface inherits from CharacterDataand represents the
 content of a comment, i.e., all the characters between the starting '<!--' and ending '-->'. | 
      
    
      
        | Document | The Documentinterface represents the entire HTML or XML
 document. | 
      
    
      
        | DocumentFragment | DocumentFragmentis a "lightweight" or "minimal"Documentobject. | 
      
    
      
        | DocumentType | Each Documenthas adoctypeattribute whose value
 is eithernullor aDocumentTypeobject. | 
      
    
      
        | DOMConfiguration | The DOMConfigurationinterface represents the configuration
 of a document and maintains a table of recognized parameters. | 
      
    
      
        | DOMError | DOMErroris an interface that describes an error. | 
      
    
      
        | DOMErrorHandler | DOMErrorHandleris a callback interface that the DOM
 implementation can call when reporting errors that happens while
 processing XML data, or when doing some other processing (e.g. validating
 a document). | 
      
    
      
        | DOMImplementation | The DOMImplementationinterface provides a number of methods
 for performing operations that are independent of any particular instance
 of the document object model. | 
      
    
      
        | DOMImplementationList | The DOMImplementationListinterface provides the abstraction
 of an ordered collection of DOM implementations, without defining or
 constraining how this collection is implemented. | 
      
    
      
        | DOMImplementationSource | This interface permits a DOM implementer to supply one or more
 implementations, based upon requested features and versions, as specified
 in . | 
      
    
      
        | DOMLocator | DOMLocatoris an interface that describes a location (e.g. | 
      
    
      
        | DOMStringList | The DOMStringListinterface provides the abstraction of an
 ordered collection ofDOMStringvalues, without defining or
 constraining how this collection is implemented. | 
      
    
      
        | Element | The Elementinterface represents an element in an HTML or XML
 document. | 
      
    
      
        | Entity | This interface represents a known entity, either parsed or unparsed, in an
 XML document. | 
      
    
      
        | EntityReference | EntityReferencenodes may be used to represent an entity
 reference in the tree. | 
      
    
      
        | NamedNodeMap | Objects implementing the NamedNodeMapinterface are used to
 represent collections of nodes that can be accessed by name. | 
      
    
      
        | NameList | The NameListinterface provides the abstraction of an ordered
 collection of parallel pairs of name and namespace values (which could be
 null values), without defining or constraining how this collection is
 implemented. | 
      
    
      
        | Node | The Nodeinterface is the primary datatype for the entire
 Document Object Model. | 
      
    
      
        | NodeList | The NodeListinterface provides the abstraction of an ordered
 collection of nodes, without defining or constraining how this collection
 is implemented. | 
      
    
      
        | Notation | This interface represents a notation declared in the DTD. | 
      
    
      
        | ProcessingInstruction | The ProcessingInstructioninterface represents a "processing
 instruction", used in XML as a way to keep processor-specific information
 in the text of the document. | 
      
    
      
        | Text | The Textinterface inherits fromCharacterDataand represents the textual content (termed character data in XML) of anElementorAttr. | 
      
    
      
        | TypeInfo | The TypeInfointerface represents a type referenced fromElementorAttrnodes, specified in the schemas
 associated with the document. | 
      
    
      
        | UserDataHandler | When associating an object to a key on a node using Node.setUserData()the application can provide a handler
 that gets called when the node the object is associated to is being
 cloned, imported, or renamed. | 
      
    
  
  
  
  
  
    Exceptions
    
  
  
    
      
        | DOMException | DOM operations only raise exceptions in "exceptional" circumstances, i.e.,
 when an operation is impossible to perform (either for logical reasons,
 because data is lost, or because the implementation has become unstable). |
