Jauntium Java Browser Automation

Introduction
Sep 28, 2018
Jauntium Beta Released!
Test drive Jauntium today and leave feedback in the forum to help shape the next release!
Jauntium is a new, free Java library that allows you to easily automate Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, IE, and other modern web browers. With Jauntium, your Java programs can perform web-scraping and web-automation with full javascript support. The library is named 'Jauntium' because it builds on both Jaunt and Selenium to overcome the limitations of each. Jauntium makes it easy to:
  • create web-bots or web-scraping programs
  • search/manipulate the DOM
  • work with tables and forms
  • write automated tests
  • enhance your existing Selenium project (how)
Code example: Google scraper - search for 'seashells'
GoogleScraperDemo.java: 
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/to/chromedriver.exe");  //setup

Browser browser = new Browser(new ChromeDriver());      //create (Chrome) browser instance    
browser.visit("https://google.com");                    //visit google.com
browser.doc.apply("seashells").submit();                //apply search term and submit form

Elements links = browser.doc.findEvery("<h3>").findEvery("<a>");    //find search result links
for(Element link : links) System.out.println(link.getAt("href"));   //print results
Features:
Jauntium is free and is available under the Apache license [see comparison to Selenium, comparison to Jaunt].
