<h2 id="Zusammenfassung">Zusammenfassung</h2>

<p>Jede im Browswer geladene Webseite hat ihr eigenen <code>document</code> Objekt.  Das <code>Document</code> Interface dient als Einstiegspunkt in den Inhalt der Webseite (der <a href="/en-US/docs/Using_the_W3C_DOM_Level_1_Core" title="Using_the_W3C_DOM_Level_1_Core">DOM tree</a>, beinhaltet Elemente wie {{HTMLElement("body")}} und {{HTMLElement("table")}}) und unterstützt Funktionen, die global für das Dokument gelten(z.B. das Aufrufen der URL der Seite und das Erstellen neuer Elemente im Dokument).</p>

<p>Ein Dokument-Objekt kann von verschiedenen APIs bezogen werden:</p>

<ul>
 <li>Meistens arbeiten Sie mit dem Dokument, in dem das Skript läuft, indem Sie <code>document</code> in den <a href="/en-US/docs/HTML/Element/Script" title="HTML/Element/Script">scripts</a> des Dokuments verwenden. (Dasselbe Dokument kann auch als {{domxref("window.document")}} bezeichnet werden.)</li>
 <li>Das Dokument eines Iframes über die <code><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLIFrameElement#Properties" title="DOM/HTMLIFrameElement#Properties">contentDocument</a></code> Eigenschaften des Iframes.</li>
 <li>Die <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest#responseXML" title="XMLHttpRequest#responseXML"><code>responseXML</code> of an <code>XMLHttpRequest</code> object</a>.</li>
 <li>Das Dokument, zu dem ein bestimmter Knoten oder ein Element gehört, kann über die {{domxref("Node.ownerDocument","ownerDocument")}} -Eigenschaft des Knotens abgerufen werden.</li>
</ul>

<p>Depending on the kind of the document (e.g. <a href="/en-US/docs/HTML" title="HTML">HTML</a> or <a href="/en-US/docs/XML" title="XML">XML</a>), different APIs may be available on the document object.</p>

<ul>
 <li>All document objects implement the <a href="http://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#interface-document"><code>Document</code></a> interface (and hence the {{domxref("Node")}} and {{domxref("EventTarget")}} interfaces). Thus, the "core" properties and methods documented on this page are available for all kinds of documents.</li>
 <li>In contemporary browsers, some documents (e.g. those served with the <code>text/html</code> content type) also implement the {{domxref("HTMLDocument")}} interface.</li>
 <li>In heutigen Browsern, SVG Dokumente implementieren das {{domxref("SVGDocument")}} Interface.</li>
</ul>

<p>In der Zukunft, alle diese Interfaces werden zusammengefasst zum <code>Document</code> Interface.</p>
