Slimerjs: Detailed Overview & Metrics
SlimerJS is a scriptable browser for web development and testing. It allows you to interact with web pages using JavaScript and provides a high-level API for automating tasks like form submission, page navigation, and content extraction. SlimerJS is built on top of the Gecko engine used by Firefox, making it a powerful tool for testing web applications in a Firefox-like environment.
Compared to similar tools like PhantomJS or Puppeteer, SlimerJS offers better compatibility with Firefox-specific features and standards. However, SlimerJS is no longer actively maintained and has been marked as deprecated. It is recommended to use Puppeteer or Playwright for modern web automation and testing needs.
