dom-examples is a collection of code examples that accompany MDN DOM and Web API documentation pages.
The repository serves to bridge the gap between conceptual documentation and practical implementation by providing working code samples for DOM manipulation, Web API features, and related browser capabilities. Each example is designed to demonstrate a specific API or technique in isolation, allowing developers to see exactly how a feature works without navigating complex, production-grade codebases. The examples cover areas including drag-and-drop interactions, pointer events, touch events, channel messaging, pointer lock, and media queries, with each example typically focused on a single concept.
Developers should use this repository when learning Web APIs or when writing MDN documentation that requires accompanying code samples. The examples work best for developers who prefer learning from concrete, runnable code rather than prose alone, and for those building educational content or tutorials. The repository is particularly valuable during the early stages of learning a new Web API, as the examples are intentionally kept simple and focused rather than demonstrating production patterns or advanced optimization.
The project receives regular updates tied to MDN documentation changes, with examples being added or modified as the Web API documentation evolves. Maintenance activity reflects ongoing attention to keeping examples current with browser capabilities and documentation needs, though the repository functions primarily as a reference collection rather than an actively developed tool with new features.
