Jsdom, a CommonJS implementation of the DOM designed for platform independence, offers two closely related versions: 0.1.2 and 0.1.4. Both aim to provide a minimal and lightweight yet fully compliant implementation of the W3C DOM specifications. Looking at these versions, developers will notice subtle updates designed to improve the library's reliability or internal workings, rather than introducing major new features. The core description and dependencies (specifically "mjsunit.runner": ">= 0.1.0") remain consistent between the two, indicating a focus on stability and maintaining existing functionality.
The key difference lies in the releaseDate. Version 0.1.4 was released shortly after 0.1.2 on November 21, 2011. Typically, such a quick succession of releases suggests that version 0.1.4 might contain bug fixes or minor improvements discovered soon after the initial 0.1.2 release. While the exact nature of these changes is not explicitly documented here, developers should opt for the newer version (0.1.4) when choosing, as it is likely to be the more refined and stable version. Both are available as tarballs from the npm registry. For developers seeking a lightweight and compliant DOM implementation for server-side testing or other platform-independent JavaScript tasks, these jsdom versions provide a foundational tool, with version 0.1.4 being the slightly preferred choice.
