References — bi-04-dom-internals

Primary sources first. In-tree Chromium docs beat any external source, including these modules.

  • DOM Standard (WHATWG) — node tree, mutation algorithms, MutationObserver.
  • HTML Standard — reflection of IDL attributes to content attributes; form control state.
  • DOM Parts / shadow DOM sections for the flat tree and slotting.
  • third_party/blink/renderer/platform/heap/BlinkGCAPIReference.md — the Oilpan reference. Read "Handles" and "Tracing" properly; skim the rest.
  • third_party/blink/renderer/README.md §"Type dependencies".
  • third_party/blink/renderer/core/dom/ — and its Trace() methods specifically.

When a claim here proves stale, record it in PROGRESS.md section 7.
