Casperjs?

[braco]

What are the chances of this supporting Casper?

That would make this the #1 scraping suite under node, by far.

All of that syntactic sugar provided by Casper would be a huge boost.

Why not just use casperjs then?

Same issues with Phantom, can't be controlled through node without a bridge...

Well node-phantom-simple is also a bridge. So it would be no different.

@braco this request seems to be out of project scope. This is a driver, and you ask about framework. Take a look at this repos:

• https://github.com/johntitus/node-horseman
• https://github.com/nodeca/navit
• https://github.com/segmentio/nightmare
• https://github.com/assaf/zombie

2 first from this list are based on this diver.

CasperJS allows being loaded from within PhantomJS so you can do this in Phridge since it has a .run function which runs any function directly inside PhantomJS environment

casperPath = path.join(require.resolve('casperjs/bin/bootstrap'), '/../..');
phantom.run(casperPath, function(casperPath) {
    phantom.casperPath = casperPath;
    phantom.injectJs(casperPath + '/bin/bootstrap.js');
    casper = require('casper').create();
    ...
