WKZombie is a Swift framework for iOS/OSX to navigate within websites and collect data without the need of a User Interface or API, also known as a Headless browser. It can be used to run automated tests/snapshots and manipulate websites using Javascript. WKZombie is an iOS/OSX web-browser without a graphical user interface. It was developed as an experiment in order to familiarize myself with using functional concepts written in Swift 4. It incorporates WebKit (WKWebView) for rendering and hpple (libxml2) for parsing the HTML content. In addition, it can take snapshots and has rudimentary support for parsing/decoding JSON elements. Chaining asynchronous actions makes the code compact and easy to use.
