ferridriver

High-performance browser automation library in Rust. Playwright-compatible API with three backends:

• CdpPipe -- Chrome DevTools Protocol over Unix pipes (fastest, default)
• CdpRaw -- Chrome DevTools Protocol over WebSocket (connect to running Chrome)
• WebKit -- Native WKWebView on macOS (native accessibility tree, native mouse events)

Usage

use ferridriver::{Browser, Page};
use ferridriver::options::LaunchOptions;

let browser = Browser::launch(LaunchOptions::default()).await?;
let page = browser.page().await?;

page.goto("https://example.com", None).await?;
let title = page.title().await?;

page.locator("#search").fill("rust").await?;
page.locator("button[type=submit]").click().await?;
page.wait_for_load_state(Some("networkidle")).await?;

browser.close().await?;

Features

• Playwright-compatible Page, Locator, Frame, BrowserContext APIs
• Network interception (route/unroute) with fulfill/continue/abort
• Dialog handling (configurable auto-accept or custom handler)
• Init script injection (runs before page scripts on every navigation)
• Expose Rust functions to page JavaScript
• Accessibility snapshots optimized for LLM consumption
• Cookie and localStorage state save/restore
• BDD step definitions (58 Gherkin steps for browser automation)
