EachDocument
has adoctype
attribute whose value is eithernull
or aDocumentType
object. TheDocumentType
interface in the DOM Core provides an interface to the list of entities that are defined for the document, and little else because the effect of namespaces and the various XML schema efforts on DTD representation are not clearly understood as of this writing.
The DOM Level 2 doesn't support editingDocumentType
nodes.
See also theDocument Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Core Specification.

NamedNodeMap
containing the general entities, both external and internal, declared in the DTD. Parameter entities are not contained. Duplicates are discarded. For example in:<!DOCTYPE ex SYSTEM "ex.dtd" [ <!ENTITY foo "foo"> <!ENTITY bar "bar"> <!ENTITY bar "bar2"> <!ENTITY % baz "baz"> ]> <ex/>the interface provides access to
foo
and the first declaration ofbar
but not the second declaration ofbar
orbaz
. Every node in this map also implements theEntity
