DOM (Document Object Model) is a programming interface for representing and interacting with the structure of a web page or XML document. DOM allows programmers to modify the structure, style, and content of the document using code.
The main concepts of DOM include the object tree, object nodes, dynamic updates, and language independence.

Object Tree

DOM represents the document as a tree of objects, where each node corresponds to an element, attribute, or text content of the document.

Object Nodes

Each element, attribute, text content, etc., in the document is represented as an object with properties and methods that allow for modification and interaction with these objects.

Dynamic Updates

DOM provides the ability to dynamically change the structure and content of the document, enabling the creation of interactive web pages.

Language Independence

DOM is not tied to a specific programming language. It can be built and modified using various languages such as JavaScript, Python, Java, and others.
Most often, DOM is used in the context of web development to interact with HTML and XML documents through scripts written in programming languages that support this standard, such as JavaScript.
For more details, see the post about DOM hierarchy.
