Jaunt is a Java library designed for web scraping, web automation, and JSON querying. It provides a fast, ultra-light headless browser that enables Java programs to perform tasks such as web scraping, form handling, and interfacing with REST APIs. Jaunt supports parsing of HTML, XHTML, XML, and JSON, and offers features like HTTP header and cookie manipulation, proxy support, and customizable caching. The library does not support JavaScript execution; however, for automating JavaScript-enabled browsers, Jauntium is recommended. Jaunt is available under the Apache License, with a monthly edition that expires periodically, requiring users to download the latest version upon expiration. The library is suitable for tasks such as parsing and extracting data from web pages, filling out and submitting forms, and handling HTTP requests and responses. Comprehensive tutorials and documentation are available to assist users in getting started with Jaunt.

TypeScript adds additional syntax to JavaScript to support a tighter integration with your editor. Catch errors early in your editor. TypeScript code converts to JavaScript, which runs anywhere JavaScript runs: In a browser, on Node.js or Deno and in your apps. TypeScript understands JavaScript and uses type inference to give you great tooling without additional code. TypeScript was used by 78% of the 2020 State of JS respondents, with 93% saying they would use it again. The most common kinds of errors that programmers write can be described as type errors: a certain kind of value was used where a different kind of value was expected. This could be due to simple typos, a failure to understand the API surface of a library, incorrect assumptions about runtime behavior, or other errors.
