Hi Mohan,

Elements contains information as an independent field, while attributes are those which contains data about that element means its meta data.

For eg: If ABC is a Node and it contain Field Name then Field Name is its element and at the same level If ABC have color, size, etc like fields then they are attributes which are common for all elements.
