But modern websites often use templating engines and render everything server sided.
- icedchai 3y agoOnly "modern" ones? It seems everything old is new again.
- masfuerte 3y agoGithub is moving in the opposite direction. The project browser used to be server rendered but anything below the root requires js now.
- ricardo81 3y agoIf it's server side rendered then you don't need a browser.

- hk1337 3y agoAre there really that many opportunities where you need to scrape it with a browser as opposed to just fetching from the same JSON endpoint the web site is getting it from? There are some, not many, but when possible I would rather just use a simple request library to fetch it than have to spin up a browser.
