Deno Dom

Overview

Deno DOM offers a unique implementation of the browser Document Object Model (DOM) specifically designed for server-side rendering (SSR) within the Deno environment. Built with Rust and WebAssembly (WASM), Deno DOM facilitates the manipulation of HTML with a focus on performance and efficiency. Though still in development, it caters to developers looking for essential HTML manipulation capabilities while leveraging contemporary programming practices.

With two robust backends available—WASM and native—Deno DOM strikes a balance between versatility and performance. The native backend offers improved speed while retaining full compatibility with all Deno features, albeit with specific permissions. This flexibility allows developers to choose the backend that best fits their project's needs.

Features

• Two Backends: Utilize either WASM or native backend, allowing for performance optimization based on the project requirements.

• Fast HTML Parsing: The library aims to mirror most supported DOM APIs closely, ensuring a familiar and efficient HTML parsing experience.

• Modern JavaScript Features: Incorporates cutting-edge JavaScript features like private class members and optional chaining for improved coding practices.

• Shadow DOM Control: Provides specific APIs for efficient operations with Shadow DOM, enhancing component-based architecture.

• Flexible Initialization: Offers on-demand parser initialization to avoid startup penalties associated with WASM, allowing for streamlined application performance.

• Focused Goals: This project prioritizes core features, intentionally leaving out support for headless browser implementations or parsing CSS and JS, enabling faster development cycles.

• Development-Friendly: Actively accommodates developers through potential issue reporting and ongoing development updates, ensuring the library's growth aligns with user needs.
