Whether or not the document is standalone, as specified by the XML declaration, corresponds to xmlStandalone. strictErrorChecking Throws DOMException on errors. Default to &true;. substituteEntities Proprietary. Whether or not to substitute entities. This attribute is not part of the DOM specification and is specific to libxml. validateOnParse Loads and validates against the DTD. Default to &false;. version Deprecated. Version of XML, corresponds to xmlVersion. xmlEncoding An attribute specifying, as part of the XML declaration, the encoding of this document. This is &null; when unspecified or when it is not known, such as when the Document was created in memory. xmlStandalone An attribute specifying, as part of the XML declaration, whether this document is standalone.
