• Intercept all events – do not let the browser do any DOM manipulations
• Create operations for desired document manipulations
For mouse/keyboard input as well as for actions triggered in the user interface
• Apply these operations to HTML DOM
The browser will display the updated document
• Send operations to the server - for persistence and for further distribution

This document describes operations-based editing of ODF documents using OX Documents. It discusses how OX Documents decomposes documents into operations, applies those operations to edit the document in the browser client, and sends operations to the server for persistence and distribution. Operations provide an abstraction layer that allows editing of documents across different formats and collaborative editing.
