Let's start with simpler question - what browser emulator works with node.js? (I meant full emulation, not just HTML processor like cheerio)
I know two options: - Zombie.js - a nice thing, simple and fast but not very stable. - Selenium - have all possible features but slow and complex to use (can be used from node.js via adapter) Any other? I heard Fantom.js also may work with node.js but not sure about it.
