OTOH for me (another freakish web user who does unusual things with the web), web components may make it easier to scrape the website. Developers will be passing data into a component in some way, JSON atrtribute, or a nicely defined data in a property, so it will be easier to scrape and understand via devtools DOM insepctor.
Insteaed of a soup of deeply nested divs, there will be nicer and more meaningful structure of web components.
- jazzyjackson 8y agoThe move to single page apps have definitely surfaced a lot of JSON-speaking api endpoints that make scraping for data a thing of the past. A great thing for the web, I think, whether or not the site owners are aware!
