Wombat is a lightweight web crawling and scraping library written in Ruby that focuses on extracting structured data from web pages using a concise domain-specific language (DSL). It is designed to simplify the process of defining how information should be collected from HTML documents without requiring large amounts of scraping boilerplate code. Developers can declare the data fields they want and specify selectors or rules for retrieving them, allowing Wombat to parse and return structured results. The DSL approach helps make scraping definitions more readable and maintainable, especially when dealing with multiple fields or nested data structures. ...

Kimurai can use AI-assisted extraction to identify where data resides in HTML pages, automatically generating selectors that are cached for future use so subsequent scraping runs operate with pure Ruby performance. Kimurai supports scraping both static and JavaScript-rendered websites by working with multiple engines, including headless browsers and simple HTTP-based approaches. Developers can also interact with pages using browser automation features such as form filling, clicking elements, or navigating through dynamic content. ...
