Nightmare: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Nightmare is a high-level browser automation library for Node.js, built on top of Electron. It allows developers to automate interactions with web pages, such as clicking elements, filling forms, and scraping data. Nightmare provides a simple API for creating and running browser automation scripts, making it ideal for tasks like web scraping, testing, and UI automation.
Compared to alternatives like Puppeteer, Nightmare offers a more user-friendly API and a simpler setup process. However, Nightmare is no longer actively maintained and has been marked as deprecated. It is recommended to use Puppeteer or Playwright for browser automation tasks.
