Chapter 23. Creating and Modifying XML Documents
In this chapter you'll be exploring what you can do with the Document Object Model (DOM) application program interface (API). As I outlined in the previous chapter, DOM uses a mechanism that is completely different to Simple API for XML (SAX). As well as providing an alternative mechanism for parsing XML documents, DOM also adds the capability for you to modify them and create new ones.
In this chapter you'll learn:
What a Document Object Model is
How you create a DOM parser
How you access the contents of a document using DOM
How you create and update a new XML document
How to modify Sketcher to read and write sketches as XML documents
