42
+
43

44

45
+ - Suspense boundaries
46

47
+ ## Test Output Tree
48
+
49
+ Instead of producing a DOM tree or a native view hierarchy, the renderer builds an in-memory **Test Output Tree**:
50
+
51
+ - Composed of **`TestNode`s**, where each node is either:
52
+ - A **`TestInstance`** — represents a host element such as `div` or `View`
53
+ - A plain **`string`** — represents a text node
54
+ - The root is accessible via `root.container`, a `TestInstance` whose `type` is an empty string
55
+ - `TestInstance` nodes are traversable and queryable — see the [`TestInstance`](#testelement) API below
56
+
57
+ ## JSON Output Tree
58
+
59
+ Calling `toJSON()` on a `TestInstance` produces a **JSON Output Tree** — a static, plain-object snapshot of the Test Output Tree at that point in time:
60
+
61
+ - Composed of **`JsonNode`s**, where each node is either:
62
+ - A **`JsonElement`** — a plain object with `type`, `props`, and `children`
63
+ - A plain **`string`** — a text node
64
+ - Contains no live references, making it safe to serialize
65
+ - Ideal for snapshot testing
