XML DOM - Nodes

DOM Example

Look at the following XML file (books.xml):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<bookstore>
<book category="cooking">
  <title lang="en">Everyday Italian</title> 
  <author>Giada De Laurentiis</author> 
  <year>2005</year> 
  <price>30.00</price> 
</book>
<book category="children">
  <title lang="en">Harry Potter</title> 
  <author>J K. Rowling</author> 
  <year>2005</year> 
  <price>29.99</price> 
</book>
<book category="web">
  <title lang="en">XQuery Kick Start</title> 
  <author>James McGovern</author> 
  <author>Per Bothner</author> 
  <author>Kurt Cagle</author> 
  <author>James Linn</author> 
  <author>Vaidyanathan Nagarajan</author> 
  <year>2003</year> 
  <price>49.99</price> 
</book>
<book category="web" cover="paperback">
  <title lang="en">Learning XML</title> 
  <author>Erik T. Ray</author> 
  <year>2003</year> 
  <price>39.95</price> 
</book>
</bookstore>

The root node in the XML above is named <bookstore>. All other nodes in the document are contained within <bookstore>.

The root node <bookstore> holds four <book> nodes.

The first <book> node holds four nodes: <title>, <author>, <year>, and <price>, which contains one text node each, "Everyday Italian", "Giada De Laurentiis", "2005", and "30.00".

Text is Always Stored in Text Nodes

In this example: <year>2005</year>, the element node <year>, holds a text node with the value "2005".
