- Crawljax
-
Crawljax is a free and open source web crawler for automatically crawling and testing modern Ajax-based Web applications. Crawljax was originally developed by Ali Mesbah and Arie van Deursen as part of a PhD project.[1][2][3] Later on it was extended by several Master students as part of their Master Projects.[4][5]
One major point of difference between Crawljax and other webcrawlers is the fact that Crawljax uses a real web browser, which supports JavaScript and other AJAX technologies. This means Crawljax is able to crawl almost every AJAX-enabled website.
As of March 2010 Google[6] is also listing Crawljax as a tool that can be used to create a static mirror of any AJAX web application.
