A benchmark tool for DOM implememtations in Node.js
TL;DR
dom.js is about 1.75x faster than jsdom
domino is ~2.2x faster than dom.js and ~3.9x faster than jsdom
Running the tests
$node benchmark
Run DOM benchmarks.
Options:
--impl, -i which DOM implementation to use [jsdom|domino|domjs]
--num, -n how often to run each test
--grep, -g only run tests matching this pattern
--debug output the result of the first test run
--help, -? display this help message
