Class Poco::XML::DOMException
Author: Applied Informatics Software Engineering GmbH and Contributors

# Poco::XML

# class DOMException

Library: XML
Package: DOM
Header: Poco/DOM/DOMException.h

## Description

DOM operations only raise exceptions in "exceptional" circumstances, i.e., when an operation is impossible to perform (either for logical reasons, because data is lost, or because the implementation has become unstable). In general, DOM methods return specific error values in ordinary processing situations, such as out-of-bound errors when using NodeList.

Implementations should raise other exceptions under other circumstances. For example, implementations should raise an implementation-dependent exception if a null argument is passed when null was not expected.
