Research direction

Start by reading dom.js lines 27-56 and the linked duplication guidance. Refactor the duplicated code in that range without changing behavior; done means the repeated logic is consolidated and the existing behavior remains covered by the repository's tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

See here: https://github.com/ryanmcdermott/clean-code-javascript#remove-duplicate-code for explanation on why it is bad to duplicate code.

The code here: https://github.com/fac-14/NDJS-API/blob/master/dom.js#L27-L56 has some dupliation and can be refactored.

(Sorry, I know you guys had a lot to do in a short period of time).
