Element

Element è la classe base più generale da cui ereditano tutti gli oggetti in un Document. Ha solo metodi e proprietà comuni a tutti i tipi di elementi. Classi più specifiche ereditano da Element. Ad esempio, l'interfaccia HTMLElement è l'interfaccia di base per gli elementi HTML, mentre l'interfaccia SVGElement è la base per tutti gli elementi SVG. La maggior parte delle funzionalità è specificata più in basso nella gerarchia delle classi.

Le lingue al di fuori del regno della piattaforma Web, come XUL attraverso l'interfaccia XULElement, implementano anche  Element.
