This class presents a table of string objects (for element and attribute names) used in an XML document. The XML parser uses these string objects for efficient manipulation of repeated element and attribute names. An XmlNameTable exists for every XmlDocument you create. The XmlImplementation class instantiates a new XmlDocument with the XmlNameTable of another existing XmlDocument.
