Document
The Document interface represents any web page loaded in the browser and serves as an entry point into the web page's content, which is the DOM tree.
The DOM tree includes elements such as <body> and <table>, among many others. It provides functionality globally to the document, like how to obtain the page's URL and create new elements in the document.
The Document interface describes the common properties and methods for any kind of document. Depending on the document's type (e.g. HTML, XML, SVG, …), a larger API is available: HTML documents, served with the "text/html" content type, also implement the HTMLDocument interface, whereas XML and SVG documents implement the XMLDocument interface.

Non-standard extensions
Non-standard: This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.
Firefox notes
Firefox defines some non-standard methods:
- 
Document.execCommandShowHelp()
-  This method never did anything and always threw an exception, so it was removed in Gecko 14.0 (Firefox 14.0 / Thunderbird 14.0 / SeaMonkey 2.11). 
- 
Document.getBoxObjectFor()
-  Use the Element.getBoundingClientRect()method instead.
- 
Document.loadOverlay()
-  Loads a XUL overlay dynamically. This only works in XUL documents. 
- 
Document.queryCommandText()
-  This method never did anything but throw an exception, and was removed in Gecko 14 (Firefox 14 / Thunderbird 14 / SeaMonkey 2.11). 
Internet Explorer notes
Microsoft defines some non-standard properties:
- 
Document.fileSize*
-  Returns size in bytes of the document. Starting with Internet Explorer 11, that property is no longer supported. See MSDN.
