[George Moschovitis]

What is the use-case for browserJS. Can it be used for web page scrapping?

I'm using its XMLHttpRequest implementation as a backend for my http client.

It's sort of like env.js, in that it provides some of the APIs that
are available in the browser.

It's DOM implementation for Rhino just uses the Java DOM API, which
doesn't handle HTML, AFAIK. I think env.js has an HTML parser.

We should probably combine efforts with env.js. I didn't use it
originally because their setTimeout uses threads rather than an event
loop.

I'm not sure if this has made it into Chris's repo, but I submitted a
patch a while ago to ditch the threads in the timeout functions.

Dragging up this old thread because I'm wondering if the combining efforts with env.js suggestion was taken.

What're the plans for the future of the browserjs package?
