18.7. A Simple DOM ApplicationExample 18-1 illustrates how you might use the interfaces discussed in this chapter in a typical programming situation. This application takes a document that uses the furniture.dtd sample DTD from Chapter 20 and validates that the parts list included in the document matches the actual parts used within the document. Example 18-1.
