Ayakashi.io

• Ayakashi Core: This is the core engine of Ayakashi.io, responsible for managing the scraping and automation process. It includes a high-level API for defining scraping workflows, as well as lower-level APIs for interacting with the DOM and making HTTP requests.
  
  
• Ayakashi Browser: This is a headless browser based on either Puppeteer or Playwright that is used for automating web interactions, such as form submissions and button clicks. It supports multiple tabs and can be used to scrape dynamic web pages and SPAs.
  
  
• Ayakashi Selectors: These are a set of powerful and flexible CSS-like selectors that allow you to extract data from web pages with ease. Ayakashi Selectors support various types of selectors, including element selectors, attribute selectors, pseudo-selectors, and combinators.
  
  
• Ayakashi Entities: These are user-defined data models that represent the data you want to extract from a web page. Ayakashi Entities can be defined using a simple and intuitive API and can be used to extract structured data, such as product information or contact details.
  
  
• Ayakashi Plugins: These are optional modules that extend the functionality of Ayakashi.io. They can be used to integrate Ayakashi.io with third-party libraries and services, add custom selectors or entities, or implement custom data pipelines.
  

• Ease of Use: Ayakashi.io provides a simple and intuitive API for defining scraping workflows and extracting data from web pages. Its powerful and flexible selector engine allows you to extract data with ease, even from complex and dynamic web pages.
  
  
• Modularity: Ayakashi.io's architecture is designed to be modular and extensible, allowing you to easily integrate it with other libraries and services or add custom functionality through plugins.

• Data Extraction: Ayakashi.io allows you to extract data in a structured way using its entity system.
  

• Node.js Dependency: Ayakashi.io is built on top of Node.js, which means that it may not be the best choice for developers who prefer other programming languages or platforms.
  
  
• Limited Community Support: Ayakashi.io is a relatively new framework, which means that it has a smaller community and less third-party support than more established frameworks like Scrapy or Beautiful Soup.
  
  
• Limited Documentation: Although Ayakashi.io has comprehensive API documentation, it may be challenging for new users to get started with the framework, as there are limited tutorials and guides available online.
  
  
• Limited Proxy Support: Ayakashi.io has limited built-in support for proxies and may require additional configuration to work with certain types of proxies.
  
  
• Costs: While Ayakashi.io has a free version available, some advanced features, such as the ability to run multiple concurrent scrapers, require a paid license. The cost of the license may be a consideration for some users.
