mechanize vs watir
I am trying to do some html ajax scraping using watir. But I was just told mechanize is better than watir as mechanize doesn't require a web browser runing while doing the scraping work. Does it sound right?
I am interested in knowing which is better in terms of functionality, performance, continued community support, and multi-threading. In addition, I would like to know if either of them can work with Java. Can anyone share some thoughts?
