It would be awesome to be able to manipulate the DOM, execute Javascript and pretty much be a scriptable mini-"browser". Is it difficult to implement?


I think it's already been done: http://www.yuiblog.com/blog/2010/04/09/node-js-yui-3-dom-man...

And the comments from when that was first posted to yc: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1253268


We're working on it, actually. But the DOM is really hard. It's the browser, not the JS engine that parses the DOM.

Would love an email once you're ready... zackster@gmail. Thanks!
