Why node has a DOM
summary
Node gets a headless DOM implementation called jsom, a CommonJS, W3C-aligned DOM plus a tiny window layer that boots in a few lines and parses markup via three parser adapters (fast/strict to HTML5-for-messy-pages). It already powers screen scrapers, test runners, templating and server-side chart rendering, and it runs simple scripts via EnV but does not autoexecute external scripts. Known limits: missing default actions, slow live node lists, timer memory leaks; roughly 46 people contribute fixes and tests.
