  3. DOM Parser

A DOM parser loads the entire document into a memory-resident tree structure so that the nodes of the tree can be randomly accessed by an application program. The nodes are all linked together in parent/child relationships that are representative of the relationships in the original document.

ElementA tag used to mark up a section of text.
EntityAn entity, either parsed or unparsed. This is the entity itself, not the declaration.
EntityReferenceAn unexpanded entity. A parser may choose to expand all entity references omitting objects of this type.

ProcessingInstructionA processing instruction is a processor-specific instruction included in the document.
