 Detailed DescriptionThis interface represents an entity, either parsed or unparsed, in an XML document.
Note that this models the entity itself not the entity declaration. DOMEntitydeclaration modeling has been left for a later Level of the DOM specification. 
The nodeNameattribute that is inherited fromDOMNodecontains the name of the entity. 
An XML processor may choose to completely expand entities before the structure model is passed to the DOM; in this case there will be no DOMEntityReferencenodes in the document tree. 
XML does not mandate that a non-validating XML processor read and process entity declarations made in the external subset or declared in external parameter entities. This means that parsed entities declared in the external subset need not be expanded by some classes of applications, and that the replacement value of the entity may not be available. When the replacement value is available, the corresponding DOMEntitynode's child list represents the structure of that replacement text. Otherwise, the child list is empty. 
The DOM Level 2 does not support editing DOMEntitynodes; if a user wants to make changes to the contents of anDOMEntity, every relatedDOMEntityReferencenode has to be replaced in the structure model by a clone of theDOMEntity's contents, and then the desired changes must be made to each of those clones instead.DOMEntitynodes and all their descendants are readonly. 
An DOMEntitynode does not have any parent.If the entity contains an unbound namespace prefix, thenamespaceURIof the corresponding node in theDOMEntitynode subtree isnull. The same is true forDOMEntityReferencenodes that refer to this entity, when they are created using thecreateEntityReferencemethod of theDOMDocumentinterface. The DOM Level 2 does not support any mechanism to resolve namespace prefixes.
