Node.innerText

Non-standard
This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

Summary

Node.innerText is a nonstandard property that represents the text content of a node and its descendants. As a getter, it approximates the text the user would get if they highlighted the contents of the element with the cursor and then copied to the clipboard.

Node.textContent is a somewhat similar standardized alternative, although there are important differences between the two.

Specification

There is an unofficial draft of the specification.
