Description : JavaScript language support for HtmlUnit
HtmlUnit is a "GUI-Less browser for Java programs". It models HTML
documents and provides an API that allows you to invoke pages, fill out
forms, click links, etc... just like you do in your "normal" browser.
It has fairly good JavaScript support (which is constantly improving)
and is able to work even with quite complex AJAX libraries, simulating
either Firefox or Internet Explorer depending on the configuration you
want to use.
It is typically used for testing purposes or to retrieve information
from web sites.
HtmlUnit is not a generic unit testing framework. It is specifically a
way to simulate a browser for testing purposes and is intended to be
used within another testing framework such as JUnit or TestNG. Refer to
the document "Getting Started with HtmlUnit" for an introduction.
This package contains the JavaScipt support library. Core language
support for JavaScript is provided by the Mozilla Rhino engine. What
HtmlUnit provides are all the browser specific host objects such as
Document or Navigator.
