Re: [Htmlunit-user] HtmlUnit and JUnit

[Ronald B. <rb...@rb...>]

Hi Oscar,

HtmlUnit has its roots as tool for unit testing (and this is the reason for the name).
But there is no restriction - you can use if for web scrapping also.
As of today HtmlUnit is a headless browser (written in java) you can use from your java program.
And from my knowledge HtmlUnit is today used in many web scrappers.
