IronWebScraper and JavaScript: A Developer's Guide
IronWebScraper does not process JavaScript.
IronWebScraper is ideal for large, structured content-based portals and standard HTML websites with the parse methods implemented.
It processes HTML as written.
Scraping without a full browser model, like Chrome behind it, is significantly faster because no browser engine is invoked.
As a rule, any standards-adherent Ajax website should have a non-Ajax alternative page for all of their content - and ideally this is the site that should be scraped.
