# Titanium.XML.Node > A single node in the [Document](https://titaniumsdk.com/docs/sdk/Titanium.XML.Document.md) tree. - Source: https://titaniumsdk.com/docs/sdk/12.7.1/Titanium.XML.Node - Titanium SDK version: 12.7.1 - Kind: proxy - Platforms: Android, iPhone, iPad, macOS - Since: Titanium SDK Android 0.9, iPhone 0.9, iPad 0.9, macOS 9.2.0 - Extends: Titanium.Proxy - Inheritance: Titanium.Proxy Implements the [DOM Level 2 API](https://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/core.html#ID-1950641247) on Android and iOS. Note that on iOS, only [Element](https://titaniumsdk.com/docs/sdk/Titanium.XML.Element.md) nodes are mutable. This means that the methods `appendChild`, `insertBefore`, `removeChild`, and `replaceChild` only work on `Element` objects. If one of these methods is called on another type of node, it throws an exception. ## Properties ### ATTRIBUTE_NODE - Type: Number - Platforms: Android, iPhone, iPad, macOS - Permission: read-only - Value: `2` Used with [nodeType](https://titaniumsdk.com/docs/sdk/Titanium.XML.Node.md#nodeType) to identify an [Attr](https://titaniumsdk.com/docs/sdk/Titanium.XML.Attr.md) node. ### attributes - Type: Titanium.XML.NamedNodeMap - Platforms: Android, iPhone, iPad, macOS - Permission: read-only A map of this node's attributes.

Each is documented on the type that declares it. - [Titanium.Proxy](https://titaniumsdk.com/docs/sdk/12.7.1/Titanium.Proxy.md): `addEventListener`, `apiName`, `applyProperties`, `bubbleParent`, `fireEvent`, `lifecycleContainer`, `removeEventListener` --- - This corpus documents Titanium SDK 13.4.1. Anything here that does not name a version describes 13.4.1. - Titanium is maintained by TiDev. The Appcelerator toolchain is retired: there is no `appc` CLI, no Appcelerator Studio and no hosted build service. The supported CLI is `titanium` on npm, invoked as `ti`.
