"http://www.w3.org/DOM/">DOM
</a> stands for the
<em>Document
11 Object Model
</em>; this is an API for accessing XML or HTML structured
12 documents. Native support for DOM in Gnome is on the way (module gnome-dom),
13 and will be based on gnome-xml. This will be a far cleaner interface to
14 manipulate XML files within Gnome since it won't expose the internal
15 structure.
</p><p>The current DOM implementation on top of libxml2 is the
<a href=
"http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/gdome2/">gdome2 Gnome module
</a>, this
16 is a full DOM interface, thanks to Paolo Casarini, check the
<a href=
"http://www.cs.unibo.it/~casarini/gdome2/">Gdome2 homepage
</a> for more
17 informations.
