Document Object Model

From Svg wiki

SVG DOM

SVG has its own Document Object Model (DOM), separate from any HTML DOM into which it may be embedded (if any). This allows for platform- and language-independent modifications of the image and/or data of the SVG file.

The SVG Specification has described the SVG DOM at http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/svgdom.html. For an indexed list of specific interfaces, see http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/indexlist.html (under "DOM Interfaces").
