The following are the standard DOM node type values. Each type is identified by its symbolic constant, followed by the raw value in parentheses.
- Node.ELEMENT_NODE (1)
- An element node
- Node.ATTRIBUTE_NODE (2)
- An element attribute node
- Node.TEXT_NODE (3)
- A text node
- Node.CDATA_SECTION_NODE (4)
