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 generating screenshots of web pages.
Compared to alternatives like Puppeteer or Selenium, SlimerJS offers a lightweight and easy-to-use solution for headless browsing. However, SlimerJS is no longer actively maintained and has been marked as deprecated. It is recommended to consider using Puppeteer or Playwright for modern web automation and testing needs.
