CefGlue vs CefSharp in 2017
Posted: Wed Feb 22, 2017 8:24 am
Hello,
I am investigating CEF .NET wrappers and am a bit puzzled on which one to choose.
I am aware that this question has been asked multiple times in the past, notably:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1222 ... vice-versa
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic ... 964FZpZZlw
I've been testing the capabilities of both wrappers, overviewing the API surface and first thought CefSharp was more complete until the huge facepalm I just had when I noticed Xilium.CefGlue docs I've been looking at have not been updated for 2 years now (https://xilium.bitbucket.io/cefglue/doc/index.html).
I figure things have changed in the past several years. Could anyone please comment the main differences of these wrappers now in 2017? What is the API coverage of CEF, which is more complete, which focuses on what features?
My use case is Offscreen browser automation for web crawling. These are synchronous tasks of step by step clicking on things and executing javascript and returning html/js values, waiting for some html elements to be loaded before proceeding etc. Any suggestions to enforce such sync behavior would be very welcome as well.
