The Unpaid Backbone of Open Source: Solo Maintainers Face Increasing Security Demands
Solo open source maintainers face burnout and security challenges, with 60% unpaid and 60% considering quitting.
A bare-bones HTML DOM in a box. If you want the DOM but not a parser, this might be for you.

JSFiddle Demo: Rendering preact components into an undom Document.
Undom aims to find a sweet spot between size/performance and utility. The goal is to provide the simplest possible implementation of a DOM Document, such that libraries relying on the DOM can run in places where there isn't one available.
The intent to keep things as simple as possible means undom lacks some DOM features like HTML parsing & serialization, Web Components, etc. These features can be added through additional libraries.
Via npm:
npm install --save undom
In CommonJS environments, simply import undom/register
to patch the global object with a singleton Document.
require('undom/register');
// now you have a DOM.
document.createElement('div');
// import the library:
import undom from 'undom';
let document = undom();
let foo = document.createElement('foo');
foo.appendChild(document.createTextNode('Hello, World!'));
document.body.appendChild(foo);
One task undom
doesn't handle for you by default is HTML serialization. A proper implementation of this would be cumbersome to maintain and would rely heavily on getters and setters, which limits browser support. Below is a simple recipe for serializing an undom
Element (Document, etc) to HTML.
Element.prototype.toString = el => this.nodeType===3 ? enc(this.textContent) : (
'<'+this.nodeName.toLowerCase() + this.attributes.map(attr).join('') + '>' +
this.childNodes.map(serialize).join('') + '</'+this.nodeName.toLowerCase()+'>'
);
let attr = a => ` ${a.name}="${enc(a.value)}"`;
let enc = s => s.replace(/[&'"<>]/g, a => `&#${a};`);
This also does pretty-printing.
function serialize(el) {
if (el.nodeType===3) return el.textContent;
var name = String(el.nodeName).toLowerCase(),
str = '<'+name,
c, i;
for (i=0; i<el.attributes.length; i++) {
str += ' '+el.attributes[i].name+'="'+el.attributes[i].value+'"';
}
str += '>';
for (i=0; i<el.childNodes.length; i++) {
c = serialize(el.childNodes[i]);
if (c) str += '\n\t'+c.replace(/\n/g,'\n\t');
}
return str + (c?'\n':'') + '</'+name+'>';
}
function enc(s) {
return s.replace(/[&'"<>]/g, function(a){ return `&#${a};` });
}
