DOM, HTML5, and PHP: Past, Present, and Future

PHP's Document Object Model (DOM) extension offers an API based on WHATWG's DOM specification for parsing and manipulating HTML and XML documents. It is a critical component of web development and a powerful extension used in many popular frameworks and libraries.

While a powerful extension, it has occasionally frustrated developers due to the absence of modern features and unique PHP-specific idiosyncrasies. In this talk, we will dig into the history of DOM manipulation in PHP, explore the upcoming capabilities such as handling HTML5, and glimpse into the promising future it holds.
