## What is it?
|
||||
```ferret``` is a web scraping system aiming to simplify data extraction from the web for such things like UI testing, machine learning and analytics.
|
||||
Having its own declarative language, ```ferret``` abstracts away technical details and complexity of the underlying technologies, helping to focus on the data itself.
|
||||
It's extremely portable, extensible and fast.

## Show me some code
|
||||
The following example demonstrates the use of dynamic pages.
|
||||
First of all, we load the main Google Search page, type search criteria into an input box and then click a search button.
|
||||
The click action triggers a redirect, so we wait till its end.

The click action triggers a redirect, so we wait until its end.
|
||||
Once the page gets loaded, we iterate over all elements in search results and assign the output to a variable.
|
||||
The final for loop filters out empty elements that might be because of inaccurate use of selectors.
