jsdom: Detailed Overview & Metrics
jsdom is a JavaScript implementation of the WHATWG DOM and HTML standards, used for simulating a browser environment in Node.js. It allows developers to create a virtual DOM, manipulate HTML elements, and run browser-like operations such as parsing and rendering web pages. jsdom is commonly used for testing, web scraping, and server-side rendering of JavaScript applications.
Compared to alternatives like Puppeteer or Cheerio, jsdom focuses specifically on providing a full DOM implementation, making it suitable for scenarios where a complete browser environment is needed. It is actively maintained with regular updates and improvements, ensuring compatibility with the latest web standards.
