dom-slim

Lightweight Node.js library implementing the DOM Living Standard.

The purpose of this library is to provide a basic implementation of the DOM. It excludes the HTML elements (e.g. body, audio) and several interfaces. Provides the minimum necessary for creating and handling nodes and elements.

Notable changes: (over v1.0.0-beta) Provides missing Document properties and DOMImplementation interface

• Implement: DOMImplementation interface, entirely
• Add: document.URL, document.documentURI, document.origin, document.compatMode, document.characterSet, document.charset, document.inputEncoding, document.contentType properties
• Add: document.implementation property
• Add: document.doctype property
• Add: document.documentElement property
• Add: document.createElementNS() method

See full changelog here

Note: This version is not production ready, due to missing tests!

Major features that are not included:

• Shadow DOM
• Events and Mutation Observers
• Custom Elements and custom element steps
• CSS and related methods/properties (e.g. the Element widths, positioning)
• Scripts
• Window (replaced by Context)
