The documentElement read-only property of the Document interface returns the Element that is the root element of the document (for example, the <html> element for HTML documents).
A Element object.
const rootElement = document.documentElement;
const firstTier = rootElement.childNodes;
// firstTier is a NodeList of the direct children of the root element
// such as <head> and <body>
for (const child of firstTier) {
// do something with each direct child of the root element
}
For any non-empty HTML document, documentElement will always be an <html> element. For any non-empty XML document, documentElement will always be whatever element is the root element of the document.
