mechanize for Java

Question

Hi,

I was wondering if there is something like Perl's/Python's mechanize for Java.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Are you thinking of a generalized web client, like HttpClient?

Answer 2

Take a look at HtmlUnit. It is similar to Perl's WWW::Mechanize. There is also a Perl version of it named WWW::HtmlUnit (it uses Inline::Java to expose the Java library's methods to Perl).
