<p><span class="seoSummary"><strong><code>Element</code></strong> è la classe base più generale da cui ereditano tutti gli oggetti in un {{DOMxRef("Document")}}. Ha solo metodi e proprietà comuni a tutti i tipi di elementi. Classi più specifiche ereditano da <code>Element</code>.</span> Ad esempio, l'interfaccia {{DOMxRef("HTMLElement")}} è l'interfaccia di base per gli elementi HTML, mentre l'interfaccia {{DOMxRef("SVGElement")}} è la base per tutti gli elementi SVG. La maggior parte delle funzionalità è specificata più in basso nella gerarchia delle classi.</p>

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