C++ bindings

[Christian Comaschi]

Hello,
I'm a developer and I'm working on an application that requires some
browser automation features. The application is written in C++.
Selenium Webdriver could be a reasonable solution, but unfortunately I
couldn't find any binding for C++.
In your opinion, what is the best solution for browser automation in C++?
Thanks in advance,
Christian

Christian,

I am afraid you would have to pick one of these : http://seleniumhq.org/about/platforms.html#programming-languages

Thanks & Regards

You're right, there are no C++ bindings for WebDriver. Having said that, if you have a good HTTP client library and a good JSON parsing library in C++, it'd be pretty darn easy to write your own C++ bindings. Implementing a client for the JSON Wire Protocol as documented in the project wiki will get you a long way toward being able to use the existing drivers. I've used JsonCpp for the IE driver as a JSON parser. I can't speak to an HTTP client library though.

Unfortunately, I can't pick one of those languages, because I have to add browser automation functionality to an already-existing application written in C++.
I read in Selenium docs that in Selenium-RC there was the possibility to start a server and to call its API using some kind of RPC protocol; is this functionality still available in Selenium 2.0? Are there any docs explaining how to do that?
I also found that Python and PHP bindings were implemented by third-parties; do you know of any docs explaining how to write a new binding for Selenium Webdriver?
Thanks,
Christian
