## Properties

nodeName

  Returns the most accurate name for the current node type

nodeValue

  The value of this node, depending on its type. Contrary to the W3C specification, the node value of DOMElement nodes is equal to DOMNode::textContent instead of `NULL`.

nodeType

  Gets the type of the node. One of the predefined XML_xxx_NODE constants

parentNode

  The parent of this node. If there is no such node, this returns `NULL`.

childNodes

  A DOMNodeList that contains all children of this node. If there are no children, this is an empty DOMNodeList.

firstChild

  The first child of this node. If there is no such node, this returns `NULL`.

lastChild

  The last child of this node. If there is no such node, this returns `NULL`.

previousSibling

  The node immediately preceding this node. If there is no such node, this returns `NULL`.

nextSibling

  The node immediately following this node. If there is no such node, this returns `NULL`.

attributes

  A DOMNamedNodeMap containing the attributes of this node (if it is a DOMElement) or `NULL` otherwise.

ownerDocument

  The DOMDocument object associated with this node.

namespaceURI

  The namespace URI of this node, or `NULL` if it is unspecified.

prefix

  The namespace prefix of this node, or `NULL` if it is unspecified.

localName

  Returns the local part of the qualified name of this node.

baseURI

  The absolute base URI of this node or `NULL` if the implementation wasn't able to obtain an absolute URI.

textContent

  The text content of this node and its descendants.

## Notes

> Note:

> The DOM extension uses UTF-8 encoding. Use utf8_encode() and utf8_decode() to work with texts in ISO-8859-1 encoding or Iconv for other encodings.

## Changelog

Version | Description
--- | ---
5.6.1 | The textContent property has been made writable (formerly it has been readonly).
