## 29.2 Parsing XML Documents (cont.)

- Use builder to parse document from file:

  > `DOMDocument* doc = parser->parseURI("items.xml");`

- `DOMDocument` describes the tree structure of the document
- To inspect the root element:

  > `DOMNode* root = doc->getDocumentElement();`

- `getDocumentElement` returns DOMElement
- `DOMElement`, along w/`DOMText`, and others, are derived from `DOMNode`
