DOM
by Aaron Weiss
XML is the new kid on the block, a technology which promises great potential
for web development, though still unproven in widespread application.
While XML is a powerful, flexible, and intuitive way to structure data,
it does not, by itself, process the data as such. One technology which can
be employed to process XML data is the Document Object Model, a construct
which provides programmatic access to the components of an XML document.
Using a DOM-supporting programming language, such as the lightweight
JavaScript scripting language, one can maneuver within the XML data to
perform queries, processing, or modifications.
