The DOM is a W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) standard.

The DOM defines a standard for accessing documents:

dynamically access and update the content, structure, and style of a document."

The W3C DOM standard is separated into 3 different parts:

Core DOM - standard model for all document types


XML DOM - standard model for XML documents
HTML DOM - standard model for HTML documents

What is the HTML DOM?


The HTML DOM is a standard object model and programming interface for HTML. It defines:

The HTML elements as objects


The properties of all HTML elements
The methods to access all HTML elements
The events for all HTML elements

In other words: The HTML DOM is a standard for how to get, change, add, or delete HTML elements.
