  Attr | The `Attr` interface represents an attribute in an `Element` object.
  Document | The `Document` interface represents the entire HTML or XML document.
  DOMException | DOM operations only raise exceptions in "exceptional" circumstances, i.e., when an operation is impossible to perform (either for logical reasons, because data is lost, or because the implementation has become unstable).
  Element | The `Element` interface represents an element in an HTML or XML document.
  NamedNodeMap | Objects implementing the `NamedNodeMap` interface are used to represent collections of nodes that can be accessed by name.
  Node | The `Node` interface is the primary datatype for the entire Document Object Model.
  NodeList | The `NodeList` interface provides the abstraction of an ordered collection of nodes, without defining or constraining how this collection is implemented.
  TypeInfo | The `TypeInfo` interface represents a type referenced from `Element` or `Attr` nodes, specified in the schemas associated with the document.
  UserDataHandler | When associating an object to a key on a node using `Node.setUserData()` the application can provide a handler that gets called when the node the object is associated to is being cloned, imported, or renamed.
