XML DOM Overview

This tutorial has taught you how to access and operate XML documents.

You have learned that XML DOM views an XML document as a tree structure with elements nested within other elements, and all elements can be accessed through the DOM tree. Their content can be modified or deleted, and new elements can also be created through DOM.

You have learned about XML parsers and how to load XML documents into parsers.

We have also introduced most of the important DOM objects and their usage.

The next step should be to learn XSLT.

If you need to validate an XML document, the next step is to learn about DTD and XML Schema.

XSLT

XSLT is a stylesheet language for XML files.

Through XSLT, you can convert XML documents into other formats, such as XHTML.

If you want to learn about XSLT, please visit our XSLT Tutorial.

DTD

The role of DTD is to define which elements and attributes are legal in an XML document.

DTD is used to validate XML data.

If you want to learn more about DTD, please visit our DTD tutorial.

XML Schema will replace DTD.

Unlike DTD, XML Schema supports data types and namespaces.
