Tools to Work with the 'Splash' 'JavaScript' Rendering and
Scraping Service
Description
'Splash' is a 'JavaScript' rendering service.
It is a lightweight web browser with an 'HTTP' API, implemented in 'Python' using 'Twisted'
and 'QT' and provides some of the core functionality of the 'RSelenium' or 'seleniumPipes'
R packages in a lightweight footprint. Some of 'Splash' features include the ability to process
multiple web pages in parallel; retrieving 'HTML' results and/or take screen shots; disabling
images or use 'Adblock Plus' rules to make rendering faster; executing custom 'JavaScript' in
page context; getting detailed rendering info in 'HAR' format.
