TermDOM
Render HTML and CSS to the terminal with a real DOM
Visit termdom.org ↗What is TermDOM?
TermDOM is a JavaScript/TypeScript library that lets developers build terminal UIs and CLIs using familiar web technologies. Instead of learning terminal-specific widgets, you write standard HTML and CSS that render to ANSI output, with automatic redraws when the DOM mutates. The library implements a spec-compliant DOM and CSSOM API, supporting flexbox, grid, tables, text decorations, and keyboard/mouse events.
Developers can use vanilla JavaScript or any frontend framework to create interactive terminal applications. TermDOM handles CSS cascading, color resolution, layout computation in terminal cells, and proper text rendering for CJK, emoji, and combining characters. The creator reports the project was built entirely with Claude.
