DOM

Standard: DOM (Document Object Model)

About the Standard: The DOM (Document Object Model) is a platform- and language-neutral interface for Web resources (such as HTML and XML) that allows programs and scripts to dynamically access and update the content, structure and style of documents.

Version: Level 3 of various components of the DOM is the latest version.

Maturity: The DOM is widely used to provide interaction in Web pages.

Risk Assessment: There may be inconsistent support for DOM across various Web browsers and JavaScript implementations. There will be a need for testing across browser environments. Also note that support for the DOM may be disabled if users (or institutions) disable JavaScript support).
