The Document Object Model (DOM) is a cross-platform and language-independent convention for representing and interacting with objects in HTML, XHTML, and XML documents.
Description
The nodes of every document are organized in a tree structure, called the DOM tree.
Objects in the DOM tree may be addressed and manipulated by using methods on the objects.
The public interface of a DOM is specified in its application programming interface (API).
