DOMString is a UTF-16 String. As JavaScript already uses such strings, DOMString is mapped directly to a String.

W3C:

For Java and ECMAScript, DOMString is bound to the String type because both languages also use UTF-16 as their encoding.

So, in terms of client-side stuff, I assume that there is no difference as DOMString is the equivalent of a String.
