symbol-tree provides a lightweight, performant, and spec-compliant implementation of a tree data structure, specifically designed for representing DOM-like trees in JavaScript. It excels in scenarios requiring efficient tree traversal and manipulation, offering methods for node insertion, removal, and searching. The library is particularly useful when dealing with virtual DOMs or any situation needing a tree structure optimized for frequent updates and queries, ensuring optimal performance while adhering to DOM specifications.
The symbol-tree npm package had a flurry of releases in 2015, peaking in July with 9 versions. Release frequency decreased sharply after 2015, with only sporadic updates in late 2016, early 2017, and mid-2019. There have been no releases since June 2019, indicating a long period of inactivity in the package's development.
Symbol-tree downloads show strong growth from March 2024 (46.9M) to August 2025 (110.7M). A peak was reached in June 2025 (130.5M) and July 2025 (129.3M). September 2025 downloads are currently at 43.1M, with incomplete data for the month.
