Alternative to HtmlUnit

Question

I have been researching about the headless browsers available till to date and found HtmlUnit being used pretty extensively. Do we have any alternative to HtmlUnit with possible advantage compared to HtmlUnit?

Thanks Nayn

Answer 1

As far as I know, HtmlUnit` is the most powerful headless browser.

What are you issues with it?

Answer 2

There are many other libraries that you can use for this.

• If you need to scrape xml base data use JTidy.
• If you need to scrape specific data from HTML you can use Jsoup.

Well I use jsoup - it's pretty much faster than any other API.
