Document Object Model

The Document Object Model (DOM) is a programming interface that allows software developers to interact with and manipulate the structure of web documents, like HTML or XML. Think of the DOM as a blueprint of a web page, where each element (like headings, paragraphs, or images) is represented as a node. Developers can use the DOM to change content, style, and structure dynamically, enabling features such as interactive forms and real-time updates without reloading the page. Essentially, the DOM transforms a static document into a dynamic one that can respond to user actions.
