DOM stands for the Document
Object Model; this is an API for accessing XML or HTML structured
documents. Native support for DOM in Gnome is on the way (module gnome-dom),
and will be based on gnome-xml. This will be a far cleaner interface to
manipulate XML files within Gnome since it won't expose the internal
structure. The current DOM implementation on top of libxml2 is the gdome2 Gnome module, this
is a full DOM interface, thanks to Paolo Casarini, check the Gdome2 homepage for more
informations. Daniel Veillard |
