Node.js is a server-side JavaScript engine. You use it to run JavaScript programs outside of a browser.

Since DOM.js is a library of helper functions for working with DOM elements, I would expect Node.js would be one environment you would not use it in, since there's no DOM there. The DOM is a browser construct.
