What is DOM in HTML?
- a) Language dependent application programming
- b) Convention for representing and interacting with objects in html documents

Answer - b) Convention for representing and interacting with objects in html documents
DOM is an API that is language-independent(written on some and called by several other programming languages) and cross-platform(which is designed to work on several other platforms) It supports a service-oriented API provided with remote procedure calls and web services DOM helps in viewing the documents as a tree-like structure the tags in HTML file are treated as objects and defines properties, methods, and events. It helps in modifying the objects without affecting the other objects. Easy to retrieve the values(properties, methods, events) by using objects than through tags. Hence DOM helps in adding, changing, or deleting the HTML elements. Below code snippet illustrate how you can use the document object to access and manipulate HTML elements Finding HTML Elements (Ex: document.getElementById(id)) Changing the innerHTML Element (Ex: element.innerHTML = new HTML content) Add a HTML Element (Ex: document.appendChild(element)) Create a HTML Element(Ex: document.createElement(element)) Remove a HTML Element(Ex: document.removeChild(element)) NOTE: Accessing the document object is nothing but accessing element in an HTML page.

- b) Stores large amount of data without affecting the performance of the website

- d) All of the above
Answer - d) All of the above
HTML Web storage provides us to store the data within the browser locally Data was stored in cookies before HTML5 which was not that much secured. The storage limit is also better when compared to cookies and the limit is up to 5MB where the stored information is never shared with the server. There is no expiration date for the data and more over the data stored is secured by storing a large amount of data. There are two types of web storage as follows: 1. Local Storage: This uses the "localStorage" object to store the data permanently (until you remove it will be there) 2. Session Storage: This uses the "sessionStorage" object to store the data temporarily (disappears when the browser or current tab is closed) Example: window.localStorage - data is stored without an expiry date window.sessionStorage - data is stored for one session (when the browser is closed, the data will be lost)
