Note: Although XML attributes are nodes on the DOM tree, ColdFusion does not expose them as XML DOM node data
structures. To view an element's attributes, use the element structure's XMLAttributes structure.
The XML document object and all its elements are exposed as DOM node structures. For example, you can use the
following variable names to reference nodes in the DOM tree that you created from the XML example in
XML document" on page 1059:
mydoc.XmlName
mydoc.XmlValue
mydoc.XmlRoot.XmlName
mydoc.employee.XmlType
mydoc.employee.XmlNodes[1].XmlType
