A Node.js library providing a JavaScript interface to the Chrome Debugging Protocol (CDP). It abstracts CDP domains into commands and events for instrumenting Chrome and other compatible browsers.
Use cases
- drive headless Chrome from Node.js scripts
- capture network requests made by a page
- automate browser tasks via the DevTools protocol
- profile and debug pages programmatically
- take screenshots or dump DOM from Chrome
- control Safari, Edge, or Firefox via CDP-compatible endpoints
When to choose
- you need low-level, direct access to Chrome DevTools Protocol domains
- you want a lightweight alternative to Puppeteer without bundled browser management
- you need to support multiple CDP implementations like Opera, Edge, or iOS Safari
When to avoid
- you want a high-level browser automation API with automatic browser downloads (use Puppeteer or Playwright)
- you need cross-browser automation with consistent behavior across engines
- your project does not run on Node.js
