Where and how to begin writing a Delphi driver?

[lhof...@leitkapture.com]

Hello!

I and my team would benefit from having a Delphi driver for Selenium. We do all of our development in Delphi, so it would make sense to be able to code our web application tests in Delphi -- driving Selenium through that code.

We do not work in .NET. With that in mind, how would we best get started writing a Delphi driver for Selenium? (We are writing in Delphi 17, at this point.)

Thank you!

Looks like someone asked a long time ago:

basic getting started is to implement the JSONWireProtocol (a REST
API). It would be very good for you to hopefully know another language
that Selenium supports (Java, C#, Ruby, Python) and look through the
source of the implementation for guidance.

Adding to what Luke is saying…

If you're unfamiliar with WebDriver's architecture, I quite like the
slides Santi made a while back to illustrate how things are connected:
