Digital content editing of a document object model (DOM) based on object model comparison

Abstract:

Digital content editing techniques are described that support edits to a document object model (DOM) of a digital document. In one example, a user input is received by a system to edit a first document object model (DOM) and thereby create a second DOM, e.g., to change a name of a tag, a name of an attribute, a value of an attribute, and/or digital content specified by the DOM. The system then compares tree structures of the first and second DOMs to each other in order to identify content editing operations that, when applied to the first DOM, cause the first DOM to match the second DOM, e.g., have matching tree structures and attributes. The identified content editing operations are then used to update the digital document by including these operations as stored along with the first DOM.
