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 web content. 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.
Compared to alternatives like Puppeteer and Selenium, CasperJS is known for its simplicity and ease of use, making it a popular choice for web scraping and testing scenarios. However, CasperJS is no longer actively maintained and has been marked as deprecated. It is recommended to consider using Puppeteer or Playwright for modern browser automation needs.
