I saw the line below in code for a DOM parser at this tutorial.

doc.getDocumentElement().normalize();

Why do we do this normalization ?
I read the docs but I could not understand a word.

Puts all Text nodes in the full depth of the sub-tree underneath this Node

Okay, then can someone show me (preferably with a picture) what this tree looks like ?

Can anyone explain me why normalization is needed?
What happens if we don’t normalize ?
