linkedom VS mocha

linkedom is your answer

linkedom - to parse HTML into a workable DOM. I used to use jsdom, but I switch for performance reasons.

For simple scraping where the content is fairly static, or when performance is critical, I will use linkedom to process pages.

When the content is complex or involves clicking, Playwright is probably the best tool for the job.

I recently started using linkedom for this and it has been an absolute joy

This looks great. I wonder how it compares to linkedom (repo[1], writeup[2]), which I have found to be fantastic.

linkedom, fastest, but lacks essential features

Other things to do would be to use linkedom instead of JSDom, look into a better assertion library than assert etc.

Sounds somewhat similar to linkedom[1], which performs nicely.

MochaJS is a feature-rich JavaScript test framework running on Node.js, making it a popular choice for both backend and frontend testing. It's known for its flexibility and straightforward syntax, allowing for asynchronous testing and the use of any assertion library.

We use Jest Framework for testing. Jest is not a dogma, and, of course, in its place can be any other test runner, such as Mocha or Ava. Let's focus on tests. I'll provide a short example because I don’t want to waste your time. You can find the full version here. It's crucial to read the comments in the code below. Let's go!

JavaScript Popular tools for testing: Mocha, Jasmine, Unit JS, Jest

To execute your tests, you can create test scripts using popular testing frameworks like Mocha, Jasmine, or Jest. These frameworks provide a structured way to organize and run your tests, report results, and handle assertions.

⚗️ Mocha and Chai for testing

Testing frameworks like Jest, Mocha, and Jasmine are crucial for software development, ensuring code reliability and correctness. They offer features like test suites, test cases, assertions, and asynchronous testing support.
