min-document

What is min-document?

The min-document npm package is a minimal DOM Document implementation for use in server-side rendering, testing, or other environments where a full DOM is not necessary. It provides a lightweight way to construct a DOM-like structure without the overhead of a full browser environment.

What are min-document's main functionalities?

Creating elements

This feature allows you to create new DOM elements, similar to how you would in a browser environment.

var Document = require('min-document');
var doc = new Document();
var div = doc.createElement('div');

Creating text nodes

This feature enables you to create text nodes and append them to elements, allowing you to build a text content structure.

var text = doc.createTextNode('Hello, World!');
div.appendChild(text);

Querying elements

This feature provides methods to query elements in the document, similar to the `getElementsByTagName` method in the browser DOM API.

var p = doc.createElement('p');
doc.body.appendChild(p);
var paragraphs = doc.getElementsByTagName('p');

Other packages similar to min-document

jsdom

jsdom is a more feature-complete implementation of the DOM for Node.js. It simulates a web browser's environment and can execute scripts, handle events, and perform layout calculations. It is heavier than min-document but is suitable for more complex tasks that require a closer approximation to a full browser environment.

domino

domino is another server-side DOM implementation designed for use with Node.js. It aims to provide a high-fidelity and high-performance representation of the DOM. It is more complete than min-document but still lighter than jsdom, striking a balance between functionality and performance.

cheerio

cheerio is a fast, flexible, and lean implementation of core jQuery designed specifically for the server. It is not a full DOM API implementation but provides a familiar and powerful API for manipulating HTML documents. It is well-suited for tasks like web scraping and HTML document transformation.
