close

Closes this node.

This method makes the underlying Blink node eligible for garbage collection, but does not guarantee that it will be destroyed. That is, if the node is still attached to the DOM tree, you can obtain it again through the DOM or JavaScript API.

Use this method to make unused nodes garbage collectable when you create, attach and detach a large number of nodes to/from the DOM tree on the same web page without reloading, closing the browser, or navigating to another web page.

All nodes are closed automatically when you perform a navigation, reload the web page, or close the browser.
