Node.js是否相当于Perl的WWW :: Mechanize？

Question

I'm searching a module for Node which would be similar to WWW::Mechanize for Perl. Or even better to WWW::Mechanize::Firefox .

• The main functionality would be to find and submit form by name, class or id.
• The ability to handle cookies would be great
• and the ability to handle Javascript would be perfect.

If anyone had an idea of something similar, or in which direction I could search, that would really be appreciated.

Answer 1

What you're looking for is a scriptable/headless browser. In decreasing order of popularity, the options are:

• Google Puppeteer - "Node library which provides a high-level API to control Chrome or Chromium"
• Zombie - more lightweight; "Insanely fast, headless full-stack testing using Node.js"
• slimerjs - scriptable Firefox. No commits since March 2018.
• mechanize-js , which lacks documentation and has far less traction than any of the above alternatives

Abandoned projects

• PhantomJS - headless WebKit.
• chimera - abandoned since 2013

Answer 2

试试mechanize-js - 名字说明了一切......

Answer 3

The closest tool I have found for now is zombie .

Apparently it is not exactly ready for production (and may never be) as it is a testing tool. Nevertheless it seems that it is the closest match for the functionality needed (and it supports JS!)

Answer 4

you can embed perl script in node.js use:

npm install exec_perl
