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 form submission, clicking elements, and capturing screenshots.
Compared to alternatives like Puppeteer and Selenium, CasperJS is known for its ease of use and quick setup. However, CasperJS is considered deprecated and no longer actively maintained. It is recommended to migrate to modern alternatives like Puppeteer or Playwright for browser automation and testing.
