I imagine this is to be used for something like automated testing.

You would be able to do it with Selenium, which drives a real browser not a fake one.

Not everyone wants to install x-server and friends on their servers

why wouldn't you?

This is headless.

BooJS uses PhantomJS. In Selenium, if you want to go headless you will use PhantomJS again [1].

just run it with Xvfb, and you got a headless browser.
