## What it is
LinkeDOM is a triple-linked-list based DOM implementation for DOM-less environments like Node.js and Deno, closely following the DOM standard. It enables HTML/XML parsing, CSS selector queries, custom elements, and document serialization for server-side rendering and testing.

## Use cases
- parse and manipulate HTML on the server
- server-side render web components and custom elements
- query HTML with CSS selectors without a browser
- replace jsdom with a faster DOM implementation
- convert HTML documents to strings or JSON
- test DOM code in Node.js without a headless browser

## When to choose
- you need fast, linear-performance HTML parsing in Node or Deno
- you want DOM-standard APIs like querySelector and customElements server-side
- jsdom is too slow or memory-heavy for your workload
- you need SSR of web components without a browser

## When to avoid
- you need a fully browser-accurate DOM with canvas or layout
- you are building a web crawler and need full browser emulation
- you need pixel-perfect rendering or JavaScript execution of page scripts

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: parser, ssr, web-scraping, templating
- domain: web-development, frontend, backend, parsers
- platform: cli
- tags: dom, html-parsing, jsdom-alternative, server-side-rendering, css-selectors, custom-elements, xml, nodejs, deno, web-server
