Difference between XMLDOM document, XML document and XML String document

Question

Can any one tell me what is XML String document and XMLDOM document? What will be the extension of those two documents (XML String and XMLDOM). How does those document differ from normal XML Document(.xml)?

Answer 1

XMLDOM document (which is actually XML DOM) or XML Document Object Model is an in-memory representation of an XML document. The DOM allows you to read, write, replace, manipulate and copy a XML document via code. For further reading, take a look here and here .

Never heard of XML String document, but i geuss you mean the type that represents the text written inside the XML document. Take a look here for more information.
