Non-browser emulation of JavaScript - is it possible?

Question

I have a new project I am working on that involves fetching a webpage, (using PHP and cURL) parsing the HTML and javascript out of it and then handling the data in the resul

Answer 1

Tbh you will have a harder time of just using a JS engine as you also have to create the environment of a browser scripting engine such as the DOM and window objects. If you are running on a Windows server then you could fairly easily use the IE COM objects to load and execute the web page, accessing the DOM programatically and pulling the contents back out. As for your server being Linux and/or Mozilla I unfortunately have no experience.

But really what are you trying to do?
