I want to automate filling in data on a website using clojure.
For this I want to query elements of webpages and create http requests. I have been looking at using HttpUnit and contrib.clojure.zip-filter.xml. So far neither approach feels right.
Are there alternative libraries to aid with this task?
thanks
Seems like the perfect use case for Enlive (characterised by the author — Christophe Grand — as “a selector-based (à la CSS) templating and transformation system for Clojure”).
See e.g. the How to select nth element of particular type in enlive? SO question — and my answer to it — for an example of use. For more in-depth information, there’s David Nolen’s excellent tutorial.
