XML DOM - Node Object

Node Object

The Node object represents a single node in the document tree.

The node can be an element node, attribute node, text node, or any other node type mentioned in the Node Types chapter.

Note that although all objects inherit Node properties/methods for handling parent and child nodes, not all objects can contain parent or child nodes. For example, a Text node may not contain child nodes, so adding a child node to a text node might result in a DOM error.

Node Object Properties

Property Description
baseURI Returns the absolute base URI of the node.
childNodes Returns a node list of the child nodes.
firstChild Returns the first child node.
lastChild Returns the last child node.
localName Returns the local part of the node name.
namespaceURI Returns the namespace URI of the node.
nextSibling Returns the node immediately following the element.
nodeName Returns the name of the node, depending on its type.
nodeType Returns the type of the node.
nodeValue Sets or returns the value of the node, depending on its type.
ownerDocument Returns the root element (document object) of the node.
parentNode Returns the parent node of the node.
prefix Sets or returns the namespace prefix of the node.
previousSibling Returns the node immediately preceding the element.
textContent Sets or returns the text content of the node and its descendants.

Node Object Methods

Method Description
appendChild() Adds a new child node to the end of the list of children.
cloneNode() Clones the node.
compareDocumentPosition() Compares the document position of two nodes.
getFeature(feature, version) Returns a DOM object which can execute specialized API with specified features and version.
getUserData(key) Returns the object associated with the key on the node. This object must first be set on this node by calling setUserData with the same key.
hasAttributes() Returns true if the node has any attributes, otherwise false.
hasChildNodes() Returns true if the node has any child nodes, otherwise false.
insertBefore() Inserts a new child node before an existing child node.
isDefaultNamespace(URI) Returns whether the specified namespaceURI is the default.
isEqualNode() Checks if two nodes are equal.
isSameNode() Checks if two nodes are the same node.
isSupported(feature, version) Returns whether the specified feature is supported on this node.
lookupNamespaceURI() Returns the namespace URI that matches the specified prefix.
lookupPrefix() Returns the prefix that matches the specified namespace URI.
normalize() Puts all text nodes under this node (including attributes) into a "normal" form where only structure (e.g., elements, comments, processing instructions, CDATA sections, and entity references) separates Text nodes, i.e., there are neither adjacent Text nodes nor empty Text nodes.
removeChild() Removes a child node.
replaceChild() Replaces a child node.
setUserData(key, data, handler) Associates an object to a key on the node.
