BooJS supports the browser DOM. You can call `document` in BooJS but not NodeJS. You can't import arbitrary browser javascript libraries into NodeJS but you can with BooJS. It's purpose is to assists with unit tests in a sane manner but it's great for other random things; reminiscent of netcat.


Do you think there is a reasonable way to provide this useful functionality without the Ruby dependency? Pure JS, perhaps?


It seems to me, that something similar could be constructed with node's PhantomJS bindings, but not sure that there would be much less overhead... it does feel a little awkward having the Ruby dependency...
