worker-dom
A DOM API implementation that runs in a Web Worker to offload DOM mutations from the main thread.
What is worker-dom?
WorkerDOM is a JavaScript library that implements the DOM API to run inside a Web Worker. It allows developers to offload DOM mutation logic to a background thread, sending only the necessary updates to the main thread. This helps mitigate expensive rendering tasks and keeps the main thread available for high-priority user interactions.
Frontend developers building complex web applications where main thread performance is critical, especially those embedding third-party content or needing asynchronous UI updates.
Developers choose WorkerDOM to reduce main thread blocking by moving DOM computations to a Web Worker, enabling smoother user experiences and better performance for non-synchronous content updates.
Overview
The same DOM API and Frameworks you know, but in a Web Worker.
Use Cases
Best For
- Embedding third-party content without blocking the main thread
- Mitigating expensive rendering for content that doesn't require synchronous updates
