本文介绍了如何使用javascript中的DOM CoreAPI来创建并修改DOM对象.它适用于所有基于Gecko的应用程序(比如firefox),包括有特权的(扩展)和没有特权的(网页)代码。
动态创建一个DOM树
考虑下面的xml文档:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<people>
<person first-name="eric" middle-initial="H" last-name="jung">
<address street="321 south st" city="denver" state="co" country="usa"/>
<address street="123 main st" city="arlington" state="ma" country="usa"/>
</person>
<person first-name="jed" last-name="brown">
<address street="321 north st" city="atlanta" state="ga" country="usa"/>
<address street="123 west st" city="seattle" state="wa" country="usa"/>
<address street="321 south avenue" city="denver" state="co" country="usa"/>
</person>
</people>
mozilla支持的W3C DOM API,可以使用如下代码创建上面的DOM树结构:
var doc = document.implementation.createDocument("", "", null);
var peopleElem = doc.createElement("people");
var personElem1 = doc.createElement("person");
personElem1.setAttribute("first-name", "eric");
personElem1.setAttribute("middle-initial", "h");
personElem1.setAttribute("last-name", "jung");
var addressElem1 = doc.createElement("address");
addressElem1.setAttribute("street", "321 south st");
addressElem1.setAttribute("city", "denver");
addressElem1.setAttribute("state", "co");
addressElem1.setAttribute("country", "usa");
personElem1.appendChild(addressElem1);
var addressElem2 = doc.createElement("address");
addressElem2.setAttribute("street", "123 main st");
addressElem2.setAttribute("city", "arlington");
addressElem2.setAttribute("state", "ma");
addressElem2.setAttribute("country", "usa");
personElem1.appendChild(addressElem2);
var personElem2 = doc.createElement("person");
personElem2.setAttribute("first-name", "jed");
personElem2.setAttribute("last-name", "brown");
var addressElem3 = doc.createElement("address");
addressElem3.setAttribute("street", "321 north st");
addressElem3.setAttribute("city", "atlanta");
addressElem3.setAttribute("state", "ga");
addressElem3.setAttribute("country", "usa");
personElem2.appendChild(addressElem3);
var addressElem4 = doc.createElement("address");
addressElem4.setAttribute("street", "123 west st");
addressElem4.setAttribute("city", "seattle");
addressElem4.setAttribute("state", "wa");
addressElem4.setAttribute("country", "usa");
personElem2.appendChild(addressElem4);
var addressElem5 = doc.createElement("address");
addressElem5.setAttribute("street", "321 south avenue");
addressElem5.setAttribute("city", "denver");
addressElem5.setAttribute("state", "co");
addressElem5.setAttribute("country", "usa");
personElem2.appendChild(addressElem5);
peopleElem.appendChild(personElem1);
peopleElem.appendChild(personElem2);
doc.appendChild(peopleElem);

你可以使用 JXON 反转算法 将一个JSON字符串自动的转换成DOM树:
{
"people": {
"person": [{
"address": [{
"@street": "321 south st",
"@city": "denver",
"@state": "co",
"@country": "usa"
}, {
"@street": "123 main st",
"@city": "arlington",
"@state": "ma",
"@country": "usa"
}],
"@first-name": "eric",
"@middle-initial": "H",
"@last-name": "jung"
}, {
"address": [{
"@street": "321 north st",
"@city": "atlanta",
"@state": "ga",
"@country": "usa"
}, {
"@street": "123 west st",
"@city": "seattle",
"@state": "wa",
"@country": "usa"
}, {
"@street": "321 south avenue",
"@city": "denver",
"@state": "co",
"@country": "usa"
}],
"@first-name": "jed",
"@last-name": "brown"
}]
}
}

DOM树可以通过使用XPath表达式来查询元素,可以通过使用XMLSerializer(不用先转换为字符串)将自身转换为一个字符串或写入本地/远程文件,也可以通过 XMLHttpRequest被POST到一个web服务器,也可以使用XSLT，Xlink进行转换,还可以使用JXON算法将自身转换为一个JavaScript对象等等.
你可以使用DOM数来组织数据,在不适合使用RDF文件的情况下(或许你只是不喜欢使用RDF).另外一个应用是,由于XUL是XML,所以你的应用程序的界面可以很容易的被动态地修改、下载、上传、保存、加载、转换、或者变形.
