Score: 7.0/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

purify-edge runs the unmodified DOMPurify on a lightweight parse5-based DOM shim instead of jsdom, enabling DOMPurify to work on edge runtimes like Cloudflare Workers with byte-identical output and lower memory usage. It fills a real gap for serverless and edge deployments that need secure HTML sanitization without Node.js dependencies.

Target audience: backend developers, edge developers, security engineers
