## Node class

The Node class is the primary datatype for the entire Document object Model. It represents a single node in the document tree.



The Node type exposes the following members:

### Properties
| Property | Description |
| :- | :- |
| [node_type](/finance/python-net/aspose.finance.xbrl.dom/node/node_type) | Gets the node type. |
| [parent_node](/finance/python-net/aspose.finance.xbrl.dom/node/parent_node) | Gets the parent node. |
| [base_uri](/finance/python-net/aspose.finance.xbrl.dom/node/base_uri) | Gets the absolute base URI of this node or null if the implementation wasn't able to obtain an absolute URI. |
| [owner_document](/finance/python-net/aspose.finance.xbrl.dom/node/owner_document) | Gets the document object associated with this node. |
| [child_nodes](/finance/python-net/aspose.finance.xbrl.dom/node/child_nodes) | Gets the child nodes. |
| [node_name](/finance/python-net/aspose.finance.xbrl.dom/node/node_name) | Gets the node name, depending on its type. |
| [node_value](/finance/python-net/aspose.finance.xbrl.dom/node/node_value) | Gets or sets the value of this node, depending on its type. |
| [text_content](/finance/python-net/aspose.finance.xbrl.dom/node/text_content) | Gets or sets the the text content of this node and its descendants. |
| [local_name](/finance/python-net/aspose.finance.xbrl.dom/node/local_name) | Gets the local part of the qualified name of this node. |
| [prefix](/finance/python-net/aspose.finance.xbrl.dom/node/prefix) | Gets or sets the namespace prefix of this node. |
| [namespace_uri](/finance/python-net/aspose.finance.xbrl.dom/node/namespace_uri) | Gets the namespace URI of this node. |
| [has_child_nodes](/finance/python-net/aspose.finance.xbrl.dom/node/has_child_nodes) | Gets whether this node has any children. |
| [previous_sibling](/finance/python-net/aspose.finance.xbrl.dom/node/previous_sibling) | Gets the node immediately preceding this node. If there is no such node, this returns null. |
| [next_sibling](/finance/python-net/aspose.finance.xbrl.dom/node/next_sibling) | Gets the node immediately following this node. If there is no such node, this returns null. |
| [first_child](/finance/python-net/aspose.finance.xbrl.dom/node/first_child) | Gets the first child of this node. If there is no such node, this returns null. |
| [last_child](/finance/python-net/aspose.finance.xbrl.dom/node/last_child) | Gets the last child of this node. If there is no such node, this returns null. |
| [COMMENT_NODE](/finance/python-net/aspose.finance.xbrl.dom/node/COMMENT_NODE) |  |
| [DOCUMENT_NODE](/finance/python-net/aspose.finance.xbrl.dom/node/DOCUMENT_NODE) |  |
| [DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE](/finance/python-net/aspose.finance.xbrl.dom/node/DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE) |  |
| [ELEMENT_NODE](/finance/python-net/aspose.finance.xbrl.dom/node/ELEMENT_NODE) |  |
| [PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE](/finance/python-net/aspose.finance.xbrl.dom/node/PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE) |  |
| [TEXT_NODE](/finance/python-net/aspose.finance.xbrl.dom/node/TEXT_NODE) |  |
