TheDocumentFragment interface represents a minimal document object that has no parent.
It is used as a lightweight version ofDocument that stores a segment of a document structure comprised of nodes just like a standard document. The key difference is due to the fact that the document fragment isn't part of the active document tree structure. Changes made to the fragment don't affect the document.
A common use forDocumentFragment is to create one, assemble a DOM subtree within it, then append or insert the fragment into the DOM using Node interface methods such as appendChild(), append(), or insertBefore(). Doing this moves the fragment's nodes into the DOM, leaving behind an empty DocumentFragment.
This interface is also of great use with Web components:<template> elements contain a DocumentFragment in their HTMLTemplateElement.content property.
