IXMLDOMDocument2

An extension of DOMDocument that supports schema caching and validation features, and switching on XML Path Language (XPath) support.

var objDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0");
var objFTDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.4.0");

Dim objDoc As New Msxml2.DOMDocument40
Dim objFTDoc As New Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument40

HRESULT hr;
IXMLDOMDocument2 * pXMLDoc = NULL;

//...
hr = CoInitialize(NULL); // Check the return value, hr...
hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_DOMDocument, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, 
       IID_IXMLDOMDocument2, (void**)&pXMLDoc); // Check the return value, hr...

Remarks

The following CLSIDs support IID_XMLDOMDocument2 in CoCreateInstance. The following progIDs return an object that can be cast into an IXMLDOMDocument2 interface in Microsoft® Visual Basic®. IXMLDOMDocument2 methods and properties are transparently available in late-bound scripting languages that go through IDispatch.

The same is true for DOMDocument objects exposed through the responseXML (IXMLHTTPRequest) property, and the DOMDocument and XSLDocument properties in the XML Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) Viewer.

Requirements

Implementation: msxml4.dll, msxml2.lib

Version-Dependent ProgID: Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0, Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.4.0

Version-Dependent CLSID: 88d969c0-f192-11d4-a65f-0040963251e5
