What is the DOM and how does JavaScript interact with it?

Entry JavaScript
Quick Answer The DOM (Document Object Model) is a tree of objects representing the HTML page. JavaScript interacts with it via document.querySelector(), element.textContent, element.style, element.addEventListener(). Every HTML element becomes a node in the tree. JS reads, modifies, adds, and removes nodes to make pages dynamic without a full reload.

Answer

The DOM represents HTML as objects. JavaScript can select, modify, create, and remove elements using DOM APIs.
