DOM it, forgive, forget, embrace
summary
Argues the DOM is far less broken than it used to be and pushes using native APIs instead of reaching for a library for simple tasks. Demonstrations create documents and nodes in memory, inspect document element and text nodes, and show classList and dataset usage, textContent vs text nodes concatenation, and querySelectorAll is static contrasted with live NodeLists like getElementsByTagName. Targets modern browsers (notably IE9+), shows most CSS selectors work natively, and reproduces jQuery-style find/iterate patterns with native methods.
