DOM objects are host objects (called exotic objects in ES6), not
ECMAScript's ordinary or standard built-in objects. The W3C defined the
DOM as a set of objects and interfaces for accessing and manipulating
document objects in a language-independent manner. The DOM presents
documents as a hierarchy of Node objects that also implement other, more
specialized interfaces.
If I write the following lines in my Chrome 47 (Linux Mint) console, I
will find the "HTMLParagraphElement" object.
var el = document.createElement('p');
console.log(el.constructor.prototype); // logs HTMLParagraphElement
And if I follow the prototype chain, I will find other object names that
correspond to DOM Level 4 interfaces:
HTMLParagraphElement
HTMLElement
Element
Node
EventTarget
Object
BTW, Happy New Year!
