virtual-node 0.5.0

A standalone Virtual DOM
Documentation
//! The virtual_node module exposes the `VirtualNode` struct and methods that power our
//! virtual dom.

// TODO: A few of these dependencies (including js_sys) are used to power events.. yet events
// only work on wasm32 targets. So we should start sprinkling some
//
// #[cfg(target_arch = "wasm32")]
// #[cfg(not(target_arch = "wasm32"))]
//
// Around in order to get rid of dependencies that we don't need in non wasm32 targets
