What is HtmlUnit FOR LINUX?

HtmlUnit

HtmlUnit is a cool tool that acts like a web browser, but it does everything programmatically. You can use it to model HTML documents and even interact with web pages just like you would in your regular browser. You can fill out forms, click links, and more!

JavaScript Support

This software has pretty decent support for JavaScript, and it's always getting better! It can handle complex AJAX libraries too. Plus, you can set it to simulate either Firefox or Internet Explorer depending on what you need.

Testing Made Easy

So why do people use HtmlUnit? Well, it’s mostly for testing purposes or to grab information from websites. It’s not just any testing tool; it’s designed specifically to act as a browser for testing tasks. You usually use HtmlUnit alongside other testing frameworks like JUnit or TestNG.

Open Source Collaboration

You’ll find HtmlUnit being used by several open-source tools like Canoo WebTest, JWebUnit, WebDriver, JSFUnit, Celerity, and others. It really shows how useful this software is in various projects!

A Bit of History

HtmlUnit was first created by Mike Bowler at Gargoyle Software and is available under the Apache 2 license. Since its launch, many talented developers have contributed to it. Their help has made HtmlUnit what it is today!
