DOM

The Document Object Model (DOM) is a way web browsers represent the structure of a webpage as a tree of objects. It organizes all elements—like headers, paragraphs, images—as connected nodes, making it possible for scripts to access, modify, or update content dynamically. Think of it as a blueprint that allows developers to interact with and change the webpage's components in real time, enabling features like interactive forms or live updates without reloading the entire page. The DOM acts as a bridge between the webpage's design and the code that controls its behavior.
