| DOMLocator | Indicates the position of a node in a source DOM, intended primarily for error reporting. | code | html |
| DOMResult | Acts as a holder for a transformation result tree in the form of a Document Object Model (DOM) tree. If no output DOM source is set, the transformation will create a Document node as the holder for the result of the transformation, which may be retrieved with #getNode() . |

| DOMSource | Acts as a holder for a transformation Source tree in the form of a Document Object Model (DOM) tree. Note that XSLT requires namespace support. |

This package implements DOM-specific transformation APIs.
The javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource class allows the client of the implementation of this API to specify a DOM org.w3c.dom.Node as the source of the input tree. The model of how the Transformer deals with the DOM tree in terms of mismatches with the XSLT data model or other data models is beyond the scope of this document. Any of the nodes derived from org.w3c.dom.Node are legal input.
The javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMResult class allows a org.w3c.dom.Node to be specified to which result DOM nodes will be appended. If an output node is not specified, the transformer will use javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder#newDocument to create an output org.w3c.dom.Document node. If a node is specified, it should be one of the following: org.w3c.dom.Document , org.w3c.dom.Element , or org.w3c.dom.DocumentFragment . Specification of any other node type is implementation dependent and undefined by this API. If the result is a org.w3c.dom.Document , the output of the transformation must have a single element root to set as the document element.
The javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMLocator node may be passed to javax.xml.transform.TransformerException objects, and retrieved by trying to cast the result of the javax.xml.transform.TransformerException#getLocator() method. The implementation has no responsibility to use a DOMLocator instead of a javax.xml.transform.SourceLocator (though line numbers and the like do not make much sense for a DOM), so the result of getLocator must always be tested with an instanceof.
