DOM types

# Sablotron Guide and Reference

DOM types | DOM
#### Summary Types introduced by `.Sablotron DOM` Level 2 interface.
#### Description Major new types are `SDOM_Document` (a DOM tree) and SDOM_Node (a node of the tree). A document can also be used in place of a node. This corresponds to the DOM spec, Document is a subclass of Node. When used in this way, the document represents its own root node (which is not the same as the `root element' aka 'document element'). Other types include: SDOM_char: a DOM character type. Currently, this is just char. Note that the DOM spec requires that the DOM implementations work with UTF-16. Sablotron deviates from this by using UTF-8 instead. SDOM_NodeType: a node type enum. Some of the values are SDOM_ELEMENT_NODE, SDOM_ATTRIBUTE_NODE and SDOM_TEXT_NODE. See sdom.h for the rest. SDOM_NodeList: a node list returned by some of the functions. SDOM_Exception: DOM exception codes enum, with values such as SDOM_NOT_FOUND_ERR or SDOM_INVALID_NODE_TYPE. See sdom.h for details.
