Surf is a Go library that implements a stateful virtual web browser controlled programmatically. It supports cookies, history, bookmarks, user agent spoofing, form submission, and DOM traversal via jQuery-style CSS selectors.
Use cases
- scrape websites with session and cookie state in Go
- programmatically log into sites and submit forms
- download pages and extract elements with CSS selectors
- simulate browser navigation with history and bookmarks
- spoof user agents when fetching web content
When to choose
- you need stateful, browser-like browsing (cookies, forms, history) rather than plain HTTP requests
- you want jQuery-style CSS selector scraping in Go
- you're building a crawler or automation script in Go
When to avoid
- you need JavaScript rendering or a real browser engine
- you only need simple HTTP requests without state
- you need an actively developed project with frequent updates
