## What it is
Scraperjs is a Node.js web scraping library offering two scrapers: a lightweight StaticScraper using cheerio for static HTML, and a DynamicScraper using PhantomJS for JavaScript-rendered content. Both expose a similar promise-based API for extracting data from web pages.

## Use cases
- scrape titles and links from a static web page
- extract data from pages that render content with JavaScript
- build a simple web crawler in Node.js
- parse HTML with jQuery-like selectors
- collect data from websites into JSON

## When to choose
- you need a simple promise-based scraper for static pages
- you want to scrape JavaScript-rendered content via PhantomJS
- you prefer jQuery-style selectors (cheerio) for extraction

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained, actively updated library (last release 2020)
- you want headless Chrome/Playwright-based scraping instead of PhantomJS
- you need large-scale distributed crawling

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: web-scraping, parser, http-client
- domain: web-development, crawlers, developer-tools
- platform: -
- tags: cheerio, phantomjs, static-scraping, dynamic-scraping, promise-based, nodejs, javascript
