## Interface DOMLocator

- All Superinterfaces:
    `SourceLocator`

      public interface DOMLocator
      extends SourceLocator

  Indicates the position of a node in a source DOM, intended primarily for error reporting. To use a DOMLocator, the receiver of an error must downcast the `SourceLocator` object returned by an exception. A `Transformer` may use this object for purposes other than error reporting, for instance, to indicate the source node that originated a result node.
