What are Headless Browsers for Apache Maven?

A headless browser is a web browser that operates without a graphical user interface (GUI), allowing tasks to be performed programmatically instead of through direct user interaction. It processes web pages, including rendering and executing JavaScript, just like a standard browser but works entirely in the background. This makes it a valuable tool for tasks such as web scraping, automated testing, and performance analysis. By running without a visual interface, headless browsers are faster and more resource-efficient than traditional browsers. They are widely used in automation workflows to interact with and analyze web content seamlessly.

    HtmlUnit

    HtmlUnit

    HtmlUnit

    HtmlUnit is a "GUI-Less browser for Java programs" that models HTML documents and provides an API to interact with web pages, such as invoking pages, filling out forms, and clicking links, similar to a standard web browser. It offers fairly good JavaScript support, which is constantly improving and is capable of handling complex AJAX libraries, simulating browsers like Chrome, Firefox, or Edge depending on the configuration used. Typically used for testing purposes or retrieving information from websites, HtmlUnit is not a generic unit testing framework but is intended to simulate a browser within another testing framework such as JUnit or TestNG. It is utilized as the underlying "browser" by various open source tools like WebDriver, Arquillian Drone, and Serenity BDD, and is employed by many projects for automated web testing, including Apache Shiro, Apache Struts, and Quarkus.

    jBrowserDriver is a programmable, embeddable web browser driver compatible with the Selenium WebDriver specification. It is headless, WebKit-based, and written in pure Java. The project is open source and licensed under the Apache License v2.0. To run jBrowserDriver from a remote Selenium server, start the remote Selenium server(s) and use the appropriate code to call jBrowserDriver remotely. For building from source, install and configure Maven v3.x and run mvn clean compile install from the project root. To use in Eclipse, either import the existing Java project from the root directory or import the Maven file. For usage, jBrowserDriver can be used like any other Selenium WebDriver or RemoteWebDriver and works with Selenium Server and Selenium Grid.
