All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`BaseNode`	`appendChild(BaseNode newChild)` Adds a node to the end of the list of children of a specified parent node. If the given child is a reference to an existing node in the document, it moves it from its current position to the new position (there is no requirement to remove the node from its parent node before appending it to some other node).
`BaseNode`	`cloneNode(boolean deep)` Clone the node, and optionally, all of its contents.
`NodeList<BaseNode>`	`getChildNodes()` Returns a list containing all the children of this node.
`BaseNode`	`getFirstChild()` Returns a node representing the first direct child node of the node, or `null` if the node has no child.
`BaseNode`	`getLastChild()` Returns a node representing the last direct child node of the node, or `null` if the node has no child.
`BaseNode`	`getNextSibling()` Returns a node representing the next node in the tree, or `null` if there isn't such node.
`String`	`getNodeName()` Returns a string containing the name of the node. The structure of the name will differ with the node type.
`NodeType`	`getNodeType()` Returns the type of the node.
`String`	`getNodeValue()` Returns the value of the current node.
`BaseDocument`	`getOwnerDocument()` Returns the document that this node belongs to. If the node is itself a document, returns `null`.
`BaseElement`	`getParentElement()` Returns an element that is the parent of this node. If the node has no parent, or if that parent is not an element, returns `null`.
`BaseNode`	`getParentNode()` Returns a node that is the parent of this node. If there is no such node, returns `null`.
`BaseNode`	`getPreviousSibling()` Returns a node representing the previous node in the tree, or `null` if there isn't such node.
`String`	`getTextContent()` Returns the textual content of an element and all its descendants.
`boolean`	`hasChildNodes()` Returns a boolean indicating whether or not the element has any child nodes.
`BaseNode`	`insertBefore(BaseNode newChild, BaseNode refChild)` Inserts a node before the reference node as a child of a specified parent node.
`void`	`removeAllChildren()` Remove all children of the node.
`BaseNode`	`removeChild(BaseNode oldChild)` Removes a child node from the current element, which must be a child of the current node.
`void`	`setNodeValue(String nodeValue)` Sets the value of the current node.
`void`	`setTextContent(String textContent)` Sets the textual content of an element and all its descendants.
