NamedNodeMap

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The NamedNodeMap interface represents a collection of Attr objects. Objects inside a NamedNodeMap are not in any particular order, unlike NodeList, although they may be accessed by an index as in an array.

A NamedNodeMap object is live and will thus be auto-updated if changes are made to its contents internally or elsewhere.

Note: Although called NamedNodeMap, this interface doesn't deal with Node objects but with Attr objects, which are a specialized class of Node objects.
