Package description
The domelementtype package is a utility that provides a set of constants representing the different types of nodes that can be encountered in a DOM (Document Object Model). It is often used in conjunction with HTML parsing libraries to identify the type of DOM nodes during parsing or manipulation.
Node Type Identification
This feature allows developers to check the type of a DOM node. The package provides constants such as Element, Text, and Comment, which can be used to identify node types.
"use strict";
const domelementtype = require('domelementtype');
// Example usage:
function isElement(node) {
return node.type === domelementtype.Element;
}
function isText(node) {
return node.type === domelementtype.Text;
}
function isComment(node) {
return node.type === domelementtype.Comment;
}The htmlparser2 package is a fast HTML parser with a similar API to the original HTML parser in Node.js. It uses domelementtype internally to identify node types, but it provides a full parser implementation rather than just the constants for node types.
Parse5 is an HTML parsing library for Node.js that adheres to the HTML5 specification. It provides a rich API for parsing, serializing, and manipulating HTML documents. Unlike domelementtype, which only provides node type constants, parse5 offers a comprehensive suite of HTML parsing features.
Cheerio is a fast, flexible, and lean implementation of core jQuery designed specifically for the server. It uses both htmlparser2 and domelementtype to parse and work with real DOM elements. Cheerio provides a higher-level API for manipulating the DOM compared to domelementtype.
