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.
Although called NamedNodeMap
, this interface doesn't deal with Node
objects but with Attr
objects, which were originally a specialized class of Node
, and still are in some implementations.
Properties
This interface doesn't inherit any property.
NamedNodeMap.length
Read only- Returns the amount of objects in the map.

NamedNodeMap.getNamedItem()

- Removes the
Attr
identified by the given map. NamedNodeMap.item()
- Returns the
Attr
at the given index, ornull
if the index is higher or equal to the number of nodes. NamedNodeMap.getNamedItemNS()
- Returns a
Attr
identified by a namespace and related local name. NamedNodeMap.setNamedItemNS()
- Replaces, or adds, the
Attr
identified in the map by the given namespace and related local name. NamedNodeMap.removeNamedItemNS()
- Removes the
Attr
identified by the given namespace and related local name.
