OXPath: A Language for Scalable, Memory-efficient Data Extraction from Web Applications
Summary: OXPath extends XPath to interact with rich web apps and precisely capture relevant data for scalable, embedded web extraction. Page-at-a-time evaluation yields memory usage independent of visited pages (polynomial time), with rendering cost dominating; it outperforms existing tools and is open source.
