<element name="TDOMParser">
<short>Implements a parser used to de-serialize XML content into DOM Nodes.</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>TDOMParser</var> is a class which implements a DOM Parser component. TDOMParser provides methods to parse XML content specified by its URI or using an XML input source. TDOMParser creates DOM nodes needed to represent the XML content, and stores the nodes in a TXMLDocument instance or a DOM content node.
</p>
<p>
Use the <var>Options</var> property to enable specific features or behavior in the parser. Of particular importance is the Validate, which enables validation when processing XML content in the parser.
</p>
<p>
DOM (Document Object Model) does not specify an interface for a parser class. TDOMParser utilizes the <var>TXMLReader</var> class to perform the actions required to convert and de-serialize XML content. TXMLReader closely resembles the XMLReader class defined in SAX (Simple API for XML), but uses its own methods instead of Handler class instances to process various DOM Node types. TXMLReader is compliant with the XML 1.0 specification.

<element name="TDOMParser.ParseWithContext">
<short>
Parses the XML input source into the specified DOM context Node.
</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>ParseWithContext</var> is a <var>TDOMNode</var> function used to read and process XML content in the specified XML input source. ParseWithContext creates DOM nodes needed to represent the XML content.
</p>
<p>
The newly created DOM nodes are accumulated in a temporary DOM Document Fragment, and its child nodes are ultimately added to the DOM node in Context. The insertion point for the new nodes is determined using the Action argument. When Action contains xaAppendAsChildren or xaReplaceChildren, the nodes are added (or replaced) as child nodes in Context. When Action contains xaInsertBefore, xaInsertAfter, or xaReplace, the nodes are added (or replaced) as child nodes in the parent node for Context.
</p>
<p>
ParseWithContext creates a TXMLReader that is used to convert and process the XML content in the XML input source. The return value contains the first child node in the DOM Document Fragment created in the method.
</p>
</descr>
<errors>
<p>
An EDOMNotSupported exception is raised when Action contains xaReplaceChildren and the target node is also a DOM Document node. Replacing the DOM Document is not supported in TDOMParser.
</p>
<p>
An EDOMHierarchyRequest exception is raised when the target node is not a DOM Element or Document Fragment node.
