About

Happy DOM is a JavaScript implementation of a web browser without its graphical user interface. It includes many web standards from WHATWG DOM and HTML.

The goal of Happy DOM is to emulate enough of a web browser to be useful for testing, scraping web sites and server-side rendering.

Happy DOM focuses heavily on performance and can be used as an alternative to JSDOM.
