The Document Object Model (DOM) serves as a structured representation of HTML and XML documents in a tree format, where each node is identified by a nodeType which defines its specific nature. Common node types include Element, Text, and Comment. Less common types, typically associated with XML, such as CDATA, entity references, and processing instructions, provide additional context for how text and information are handled but are rarely used in modern web development. Understanding these differences is crucial, especially for XML-related projects or legacy systems, where node types influence manipulation in JavaScript.
The Document Object Model (DOM) provides a structured tree representation of HTML and XML documents, with each node possessing a nodeType property that defines its type.
Node types such as Element, Text, and Comment are frequently used in web development, whereas CDATA sections and entity references are more common in XML workflows.
