XML DOM: NamedNodeMap Object

How the NamedNodeMap object in XML DOM stores and manages unordered node lists, automatically updating when elements are added, removed, or modified.

The NamedNodeMap object represents an unordered list of nodes that can be accessed by their names.

The NamedNodeMap keeps itself up-to-date. If an element is deleted or added, in the node list or the XML document, the list is automatically updated.
