Wrapper transformation for fast and lightweight web data extraction

Image from Licence Details: Wrapper transformation for fast and lightweight web data extraction

Applications: Web data extraction, testing web applications, vulnerability testing, regression testing.

The technology is an approach to convert a typical web data extraction program into its counterpart operating solely on the HTTP level, enabling fast web data extraction.

Features Benefits
  • The wrapper performs only relevant browser-server interactions to get the desired data.
  • Greatly reduces Internet traffic as up to 97% of traffic generated by traditional wrappers is unnecessary for obtaining the desired data.
  • The method considerably reduces the number of resources required for wrapper execution.
  • Approximately 50 times less runtime overhead than current wrappers, with a corresponding reduction in costs.
  • Can be used to convert typical wrappers which are slow and resource intensive into more lightweight and fast HTTP wrappers.
  • Provides the benefits of automated large-scale continuous data extraction without the drawback of execution time.
  • Browserless approach to web data extraction.
  • The wrapper is on average 15 times faster than a visual wrapper.
