This contains a NamedNodeMap that contain the attributes of this node, or the value is None.

This contains a NodeList containing all children of this node. If no children exist then the list is empty.

The first child of the node. A convenient attribute if you know the structure of the document. If the node has no children, this is None.

Similar to its counterpart firstChild, but returns the last child node. If the node has no children, this is None.

Returns the local part of the qualified name of the node.

The namespace URI of the node or None if none exists.

The node immediately following this node or None if none exists.

The name of the node, depending on its type. nodes of type Text and CharacterData do not have their own names, but rather just a string indicating that they are that specific type. For Element nodes, it’s the tag name. For other named types, it returns their respective names.

An integer representing the type of the node. This is directly correlated to the defined constants of the Node class.

The value of this node depending on its type. For attributes, it is the assigned value. For CDATASection, Comment, Text, and ProcessingInstruction nodes, it is their contents respectively. However, for Element nodes, this value is not the character data beneath the element, but None.

The Document object to which this node belongs.

The immediate parent of the node. This may be None if the node has just been created and has not been inserted as a child of another node. This is always None for attribute nodes.

This is the namespace prefix, or None if the node does not have a namespace prefix.

Similar to nextSibling, this attribute is associated with the node immediately preceding this one, or None.

This method adds the newChild node the end of the NodeList contained within this node. If the node already exists, it is removed and then added back.

This method returns a duplicate of the node. The duplicate node is not attached, and does not have a parent. The deep parameter, if true, indicates that the entire tree beneath this node should be included in the copy operation.

Boolean method returns true or false depending on whether the node has children.

Inserts the new node immediately prior to the refChild within the node’s NodeList. If the newChild already exists within the list, it is deleted first and added again.

This method returns true or false depending on whether the DOM implementation supports a specific feature for this particular node.

This method descends to the full depth beneath this node, and ensures that only markup structure such as elements, comments, and processing instructions separate Text nodes. This eliminates empty (or whitespace) nodes existing in between chunks of text in your markup.

Returns and removes the childNode from the node’s NodeList.

Replaces oldChild with newChild and returns oldChild to the caller. If newChild is already a child of some element, it is removed.
