chromedp is a Go library for driving Chrome and other browsers via the Chrome DevTools Protocol, with no external dependencies. It supports headless operation, screenshots, DOM interaction, and is commonly used for web scraping and end-to-end testing.
Use cases
- scrape dynamic web pages rendered by javascript
- take full page screenshots of websites
- run end-to-end browser tests in go
- automate form filling and clicking on web pages
- generate pdfs from web pages
- test single page applications headlessly
When to avoid
- you need cross-browser support beyond Chromium-based browsers
- you prefer Playwright or Selenium ecosystems with richer tooling
- you only need static HTML parsing without a real browser
