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.
