DOMImplementationRegistry(3)

Synopsis

One of the concepts introduced in the Level 3 Core is that of "bootstrapping" a DOM implementation. Prior to Level 3, some language- and implementation-specific code was needed to initially create a DOMImplementation that could be used to create documents and gain access to DOM functionality. The DOMImplementationRegistry object has no formal IDL specification within the DOM recommendation, but every implementation of the Level 3 Core is required to provide an object that implements two methods: getDOMImplementation( ) and getDOMImplementationList( ). These methods are then used to locate a DOMImplementation object that supports the required features for the application.
