Slimerjs: Detailed Overview & Metrics
SlimerJS is a scriptable browser for web development and testing, similar to PhantomJS. It allows you to interact with web pages using JavaScript and execute scripts in a headless browser environment. SlimerJS is particularly useful for automating tasks like web scraping, testing, and capturing screenshots of web pages.
Compared to PhantomJS, SlimerJS offers better compatibility with modern web standards and supports the latest versions of Firefox. However, SlimerJS is no longer actively maintained and has been marked as deprecated. It is recommended to use alternative headless browser automation tools like Puppeteer or Playwright for more robust and up-to-date functionality.
