The Xerces-C++ 2.6.0 contains a partial implementation of the W3C Document Object Model Level 3. This implementation is experimental. The DOM Level 3 specification is still in working draft stage: you should not consider this implementation complete or correct.

The limitations of this implementation are detailed below. Please, read this document before using Xerces-C++ 2.6.0.

The Xerces-C++ 2.6.0 contains an experimental implementation of a subset of the W3C DOM Level 3 as specified in

• DOM Level 3.0 Core Specification, Version 1.0 W3C Working Draft 26 February 2003 and
• Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Load and Save Specification, Version 1.0 W3C Working Draft 26 February 2003

The following are implemented in Xerces-C++ 2.6.0.

• DOMImplementationRegistry, DOMImplementationSource
• DOMException: VALIDATION_ERR
• DOMDocument: set/getActualEncoding, set/getEncoding, set/getVersion, set/getStandalone, set/getDocumentURI, set/getStrictErrorChecking, renameNode, normalizeDocument
• DOMEntity: set/getActualEncoding, set/getEncoding, set/getVersion
• DOMErrorHandler, DOMError, DOMLocator
• DOMNode: set/getUserData, isSameNode, isEqualNode, compareTreePosition, lookupNamespaceURI, lookupNamespacePrefix, isDefaultNamespace, baseURI
• DOMText: getIsWhitespaceInElementContent
• DOMAttr: isID, getTypeInfo
• DOMElement: setIdAttributeNode, setIdAttributeNS, setIdAttribute, getTypeInfo
• DOMUserDataHandler
