### Uses of Node in org.w3c.dom

Subinterfaces of Node in org.w3c.dom
`interface` `Attr` The `Attr` interface represents an attribute in an `Element` object.
`interface` `CDATASection` CDATA sections are used to escape blocks of text containing characters that would otherwise be regarded as markup.
`interface` `CharacterData` The `CharacterData` interface extends Node with a set of attributes and methods for accessing character data in the DOM.
`interface` `Comment` This interface inherits from `CharacterData` and represents the content of a comment, i.e., all the characters between the starting ' `<!--`' and ending '`-->`'.
`interface` `Document` The `Document` interface represents the entire HTML or XML document.
`interface` `DocumentFragment` `DocumentFragment` is a "lightweight" or "minimal" `Document` object.
`interface` `DocumentType` Each `Document` has a `doctype` attribute whose value is either `null` or a `DocumentType` object.

`interface` `Entity` This interface represents a known entity, either parsed or unparsed, in an XML document.
`interface` `EntityReference` `EntityReference` nodes may be used to represent an entity reference in the tree.
`interface` `Notation` This interface represents a notation declared in the DTD.
`interface` `ProcessingInstruction` The `ProcessingInstruction` interface represents a "processing instruction", used in XML as a way to keep processor-specific information in the text of the document.
`interface` `Text` The `Text` interface inherits from `CharacterData` and represents the textual content (termed character data in XML) of an `Element` or `Attr`.
