<div class='abstract'>
<p>
	This specification defines the Document Object Model Load and
	Save Level 3, a platform- and language-neutral interface that
	allows programs and scripts to dynamically load the content of
	an XML document into a DOM document and serialize a DOM document
	into an XML document; DOM documents being defined in [<a class='noxref' href='references.html#DOM2Core'>DOM Level 2 Core</a>] or newer, and XML documents being defined in
	[<a class='noxref' href='references.html#XML'>XML 1.0</a>] or newer. It also allows filtering of
	content at load time and at serialization time.
