DOM(Document Object Model.) is a platform and language independent object model. It can be used by any programming language like JavaScript, VBscript. DOM defines a standard object model for accessing/representing documents like HTML or XML. This will allow scripts to dynamically access and update the content, style and structure of documents.
DOM has 3 different levels
- Core DOM – standard model for structured document
- XML DOM – standard object model for XML document.
- HTML DOM – HTML document – defines object & properties of all HTML elements and methods to access them.
DOM represents its documents as a tree structure with elements, attributes and nodes. Also DOM supports navigations in any directions of the tree structure.
