Everything About Structure Navigation and Manipulation - [Complete DOM Mastery Part 1]

No matter how much you study React, Next.js, or Vue, if the code feels abstract and the structure isn't clearly understood, the root cause might be a lack of understanding of DOM. DOM is the foundation of all frontend frameworks and the entity that connects the structure and behavior of web pages. This lecture goes beyond simple selectors or manipulation methods, teaching step-by-step from the very beginning how HTML transforms into DOM objects and how to select, traverse, and manipulate this structure. It is the Part 1 introductory lecture of 'Complete DOM Mastery'. HTML tags are just structure, and JavaScript is just behavior, but DOM is the core that connects the two. If you clearly understand this connection, you'll be able to precisely grasp the true structure and flow within any framework you use.

[DOM 완전 정복 Part 1] – 구조 탐색과 조작의 모든 것

React, Next.js, Vue를 아무리 공부해도 코드가 추상적으로 느껴지고, 구조가 확실히 이해되지 않는다면, 그 근본 원인은 DOM에 대한 이해 부족일 수 있습니다. DOM은 모든 프론트엔드 프레임워크의 기반이며, 웹 페이지의 구조와 동작을 연결해주는 실체입니다.

이 강의는 단순한 선택자나 조작법을 넘어, HTML이 어떻게 DOM 객체로 바뀌고, 이 구조를 어떻게 선택하고 탐색하며, 조작할 수 있는지를 처음부터 차근차근 알려주는 DOM 완전 정복의 Part 1 입문 강의입니다.

HTML 태그는 구조일 뿐이고, 자바스크립트는 행동일 뿐이지만, 그 둘을 연결하는 핵심이 DOM입니다. 이 연결고리를 명확히 이해하면, 어떤 프레임워크를 쓰든 그 안의 진짜 구조와 흐름을 정확히 꿰뚫어볼 수 있게 됩니다.

이 강의의 특징

📌 단순히 DOM API 사용법만 나열하지 않고, DOM의 내부 구조와 메커니즘을 시각적 예시와 함께 근본부터 설명합니다.

📌 Node, Element, childNodes, children헷갈리기 쉬운 속성들의 차이를 직접 콘솔 실습으로 비교하며 완벽히 이해하게 만듭니다.

📌 innerHTML, textContent, remove(), replaceChild()실무에서 자주 쓰이는 DOM 조작 메서드들을 정확한 상황별로 구분해 설명합니다.

📌 DOM 구조를 단순히 나열하는 것이 아니라, HTML이 DOM 객체가 되기까지의 과정 전체를 해부하듯 다룹니다.

📌 모든 개념이 직접 눈으로 확인할 수 있는 DevTools 실습과 함께 진행되어, 추상적인 개념도 직관적으로 이해할 수 있습니다.

📌 DOM과 자바스크립트의 관계, DOM은 브라우저가 제공하는 Web API라는 점을 명확히 구분하여 설명합니다.

📌 HTMLCollection vs NodeList, live vs static, 속성 vs property처럼 실전 오류를 유발하는 헷갈리는 차이들을 완전히 구분할 수 있게 도와줍니다.

📌 React, Next.js, Vue 같은 프레임워크를 학습하기 전, 진짜 웹 구조의 기반을 정확히 이해하도록 설계된 DOM 입문 필수 강의입니다.

이런 분들께 추천해요

HTML, CSS, JS 기초는 배웠지만 이제 본격적으로 웹 개발을 제대로 시작해보고 싶은 예비 프론트엔드 개발자

단순히 따라 치는 코드가 아니라, 웹 브라우저가 HTML을 어떻게 해석하고 구조화하는지를 ‘제대로’ 이해하고 싶은 분

React, Next.js, Vue 등을 공부 중이지만 컴포넌트 내부 동작이 왜 그렇게 돌아가는지 감이 안 오는 분

수강 후에는

  • HTML을 보면 자동으로 DOM 구조가 떠오름

  • useRef, document API를 쓸 때 블랙박스 없이 원리부터 이해

  • 어떤 프레임워크를 쓰더라도 DOM을 정확히 이해하며 조작 가능

  • React 컴포넌트 내부 구조와 render 방식에 대한 감이 생김

  • 디버깅 시 console.dir과 트리 구조 해석이 자유로움

  • DOM 트리를 탐색하면서 필요한 부분만 효율적으로 접근 가능

  • 사용자 입력과 DOM 속성의 상호작용을 명확히 이해


  • 직접 DOM을 조작해 동적인 UI를 만들 수 있음

  • 프레임워크 없이도 미니 프로젝트를 구현할 수 있는 기초 완성

  • 렌더링 구조나 hydration 오류의 원인을 구조적으로 파악할 수 있음

이런 내용을 배워요.

HTML만으로는 부족했던 이유

정적인 구조만 존재하던 시절, 왜 DOM이라는 개념이 필요하게 되었는지를 시대적 흐름과 함께 이해합니다.

DOM이란 무엇이고 어떻게 만들어지는가

브라우저는 HTML을 어떻게 파싱해서 객체로 바꾸는지, DOM 트리가 어떻게 구성되는지 처음부터 끝까지 흐름을 파악합니다.

구조와 API는 구분해서 봐야 한다
DOM은 구조이자 동시에 인터페이스입니다. 트리 구조와 조작 메서드를 분리해 바라보는 시각을 훈련합니다.

DOM 요소 선택의 모든 방법들
getElementById, querySelector, querySelectorAll 등 실무에서 쓰이는 모든 DOM 선택 방법의 원리와 차이점을 명확히 정리합니다.

Node vs Element의 진짜 차이
많은 초보자가 헷갈리는 childNodes, children, firstChild, firstElementChild의 차이를 노드 타입까지 포함해 정확히 분석합니다.

HTMLCollection과 NodeList의 구조적 차이
비슷해 보이지만 동작이 전혀 다른 이 두 객체의 반환 방식, 실시간 반영 여부, 반복문 호환성까지 명확히 비교합니다.

요소 생성, 삽입, 제거, 교체의 모든 방식

appendChild, prepend, remove, replaceChild 등 요소 추가/삭제/교체의 모든 방법과 그 동작 방식을 실제 코드와 함께 배웁니다.

innerHTML vs textContent의 성능과 보안
단순 문자열 출력이 아닌, XSS 공격 가능성과 성능 차이까지 함께 고려한 안전한 DOM 출력 방식을 학습합니다.


수강 전 참고 사항

선수 지식 및 유의사항

  • HTMLJavaScript의 기초 문법만 알고 있다면 누구나 수강 가능

  • React, Next.js 사용자라면 지금의 혼란을 해결하는 전환점이 될 수 있음

  • 이 강의는 단순히 문법을 암기하는 과정이 아닙니다.

  • DOM이 왜 그렇게 동작하는지를 구조적으로 이해하는 데 집중합니다.

  • 실습을 위해 브라우저 개발자 도구(DevTools)를 적극 활용합니다

  • CSS가 주가 아닌, 구조 탐색과 조작 중심의 강의입니다

  • 다음 Part 2 강의에서 DOM 이벤트와 동적 UI로 이어집니다

학습 자료

  • 모든 강의에는 각 회차별 교본 형식의 학습 자료가 제공됩니다.

  • 각 강의 주제에 맞는 실습 코드와 연습문제 파일이 함께 제공되어, 직접 따라하며 체득할 수 있습니다.

  • 별도의 선행 라이브러리 지식은 필요 없으며, 브라우저와 코드 편집기 사용법만 알면 수강이 가능합니다.

  • 강의는 단계적으로 구성되어 있어 DOM을 처음 접하는 분도 점진적으로 구조와 조작 방식을 익힐 수 있습니다.

Recommended for
these people

Who is this course right for?

  • For those who have just started web development but find the connection between HTML and JS difficult

  • For those who want to learn how web pages truly work, beyond just making them.

  • React/Next.js learners constantly stuck on useRef, DOM manipulation

  • People desiring powerful UIs with just Vanilla JS, no frameworks.

  • Knows HTML, but JavaScript DOM feels daunting.

  • Those who just repeat console.dir when debugging, failing to grasp the structure.

  • Frontend junior eager to master DOM's internals

  • Those who want to write the framework's abstracted code "with understanding"

  • Genuinely curious what querySelectorAll returns

  • Those unfamiliar with class adding/removing and element inserting/deleting

  • Wanting the insight to design HTML structure.

  • Those who wish to perform DOM structure-based event delegation/optimization in practice.

Need to know before starting?

  • It's good to know the basic HTML tag structure.

  • Understanding JavaScript variables, functions, and conditionals is sufficient.

  • If you can use Chrome Developer Tools (DevTools), it's better.

    I was able to easily understand the DOM structure.

    • nhcodingstudio
      Instructor

      Hello wgshin0708! 😊 Thank you so much for leaving such a valuable review. 🙏 I'm truly delighted to hear that you found the composition and structure of the DOM easy to understand. This Part 1 lecture was designed not just to handle DOM through code, but to help you completely grasp how HTML is structured and converted into objects, and how you can navigate and manipulate this structure. Soon, in the upcoming [DOM Complete Mastery Part 2 – From Events to SPA, Essential Engine for Interactive Web], we'll cover the core principles of actual interaction including event flow, delegation, dynamic UI, and SPA structure, building on the structural understanding you gained in Part 1. When you watch it based on Part 1 knowledge, you'll feel much deeper and more practical connections. Thank you once again for consistently listening and leaving such Kind words. Moving forward, I'll continue to bring you richer content that naturally connects from DOM to browser rendering and even React. 🌿 Please feel free to ask anytime if you have questions or want to learn more about any topic. I'd love to create better learning experiences through our conversations together. We're also communicating with students in the open chat room, so please drop by when you have time. 👉 https://open.kakao.com/o/gC10Fnoh

    There was a slight sense of disconnect, such as proceeding with a nuance as if explaining concepts that had been covered multiple times for the first time, or pronouncing HTML as "Himal," but overall the lecture flow was clear enough that I could follow along while visualizing the DOM structure in my mind, which was great! I'm planning to take the next lecture as well 😊😊

    • nhcodingstudio
      Instructor

      Thank you, Woongks! 🙏 I'm truly grateful for your honest and warm review. It's incredibly helpful to me that you thoughtfully pointed out even the parts that felt a bit awkward during the course. Your feedback will be a valuable reference for making my lectures flow more naturally in the future. Most of all, I'm really happy to hear that you were able to visualize the DOM structure in your mind while following the overall flow of the lecture. The DOM isn't just about looking at code - it's an area that becomes much easier to understand when you develop the habit of visually imagining the tree structure and flow. I believe this course has provided you with a great foundation. 🚀 I'm so pleased and grateful that you've planned to take the next lecture as well. If you encounter any parts that are difficult to understand or topics you'd like to explore more deeply during your studies, please feel free to reach out anytime. I'll sincerely answer even the smallest questions and share thoughts together. 💬 Also, you can freely communicate with other students and share opinions with me in the open chat room below, so please feel free to drop by anytime. 📮 👉 [https://open.kakao.com/o/gC10Fnoh] I'm always cheering for your learning journey, Woongks, and I look forward to seeing you again in the next lecture! 🌟
