A pure Clojure implementation of the link:{url-webdriver}[Webdriver] protocol, named after link:{url-short-story}[Etaoin Shrdlu] -- a typing machine that came to life after a mysterious note was produced on it.

Use the Etaoin library to automate a browser, test your frontend behaviour, simulate human actions or whatever you want.

== Benefits

• Selenium-free: no big dependencies, no tons of downloaded jars, etc.
• Lightweight, fast. Simple, easy to understand.
• Compact: just one main namespace with a couple of helpers.
• Declarative: the code is just a list of actions.

== Capabilities

• Currently supports Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge.
• Can either connect to a remote WebDriver process, or have Etaoin launch one for you.
• Run your unit tests directly from Emacs by pressing C-t t as usual.
• Can imitate human-like behaviour (delays, typos, etc).

== Documentation

== Versioning

Eatoin uses: major.minor.patch-test-qualifier

• major increments when a non alpha release API has been broken - something, as a rule, we'd like to avoid.
• minor increments to convey significant new features have been added.
• patch indicates bug fixes or minor changes - it is the total number of releases to date.
• test-qualifier is absent for stable releases. Can be alpha, beta, rc1, etc.
