What is PHP-DOM?

PHP-DOM is the DOM extension to the PHP language. The Document Object Model is a "platform- and language-neutral interface that will allow programs and scripts to dynamically access and update the content, structure and style of documents."

PHP-DOM is also a prerequisite for WiFiDog.
