Casperjs: Detailed Overview & Metrics
CasperJS is a navigation scripting and testing utility for PhantomJS and SlimerJS. It allows you to automate interactions with web pages, perform functional testing, and scrape information from websites. CasperJS simplifies the process of writing and running browser automation scripts by providing a high-level API for common tasks like clicking links, filling forms, and capturing screenshots.
While CasperJS was once a popular choice for web scraping and testing, it is now considered deprecated and no longer actively maintained. Alternatives like Puppeteer, Playwright, and Selenium WebDriver offer more modern and robust solutions for browser automation and testing.
