DOM Developer's Guide

This guide introduces the Microsoft COM implementation of the Document Object Model (DOM). The DOM provides a navigable set of classes that directly reflect the W3C Document Object Model (DOM) Level 1 specification. These classes enable you to construct an XML document in memory. You can then compile and validate your XML documents against a DTD or schema. The DOM Developer's Guide, along with the reference material that accompanies it, describes the Microsoft COM implementation of the DOM standard. The Microsoft DOM implementation provides both Microsoft® JScript®, Visual Basic® and Microsoft Visual C++® interfaces.

The following sections provide more information about creating applications with the DOM.
