XNode is an abstract common base class for:

• XComment

• XContainer

• XDocumentType

• XProcessingInstruction

• XText

XContainer is an abstract common base class for:

• XDocument

• XElement

Objects of classes that derive from XContainer can contain child nodes.

If you are writing a complex XML application, such as an XML editor or a word processor that stores content as XML, you will often work at the node level. Typical activities when working at the node level include adding nodes, deleting nodes, transforming nodes, and iterating through axes that return collections of nodes.
