ssdom.js: server-side DOM implementation

Overview

ssdom.js is a DOM implementation intended to be used on web servers.
The typical use case is the dynamic construction of some HTML document
in order to serialize it and send it to a web browser.

- Provide an implementation of the basic DOM manipulation functions
and properties
- Ability to use the same DOM manipulation methods on the server and
client (i.e. a web browser)
- Optimize for fast DOM generation and serilization and low overhead

$3

- Provide an implementation of the full DOM and HTML standards
- Simulate CSS stylesheets and other visual features
- Ability to run JavaScript inside a document

ssdom.js uses ES6 direct proxies to implement various DOM features that cannot be efficiently implemented using ES5. ES6 direct proxies are currently not support by Node.js. Use the harmony-reflect module and start node with the --harmony flag as a shim.

The following snippet shows how to create html documents and serialize them to strings.

``javascript
// required for direct proxies
// start node with the --harmony flag
require('harmony-reflect');

var ssdom = require('ssdom.js');

var domImpl = ssdom.newImplementation();

var document = new domImpl.createHTMLDocument();

var p = document.createElement('p');
p.textContent = 'Hello world!';

var body = document.querySelector('body');
body.appendChild(p);

console.log(ssdom.stringify(document));
