Playwright is a powerful Node.js library for automating browsers. It allows developers to write reliable end-to-end tests for web applications by automating interactions with web pages in Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit browsers. Playwright provides a simple and intuitive API for performing actions like clicking, typing, and navigating across different browser contexts.
Compared to alternatives like Puppeteer, Playwright offers cross-browser support, improved reliability, and faster execution speed. It also provides advanced features such as automatic waiting for network requests, file downloads, and browser context isolation, making it a preferred choice for modern web testing automation.
