Structure


The W3C recommendation has two parts-the Core and HTML.

The HTML portion of the DOM is not relevant for our XML purposes and will not be discussed further.

The Core portion of W3C provides a set of fundamental interfaces that can represent any structured document (XML and HTML), and a set of extended interfaces needed for XML documents.

For a discussion of interfaces, refer to the OO concepts described on Day 15, "Event-Driven Programming."
