Documentation for ChromeRemoteInterface

This module handles communicating with the DevTools HTTP JSON API

This module is responsible for all things connected to a Page

Audits domain allows investigation of page violations and possible improvements

The Browser domain defines methods and events for browser managing

This domain exposes CSS read/write operations. All CSS objects (stylesheets, rules, and styles) have an associated id used in subsequent operations on the related object. Each object type has a specific id structure, and those are not interchangeable between objects of different kinds. CSS objects can be loaded using the get*ForNode() calls (which accept a DOM node id). A client can also keep track of stylesheets via the styleSheetAdded/styleSheetRemoved events and subsequently load the required stylesheet contents using the getStyleSheetText methods

This domain exposes DOM read/write operations. Each DOM Node is represented with its mirror object that has an id. This id can be used to get additional information on the Node, resolve it into the JavaScript object wrapper, etc. It is important that client receives DOM events only for the nodes that are known to the client. Backend keeps track of the nodes that were sent to the client and never sends the same node twice. It is client’s responsibility to collect information about the nodes that were sent to the client.

Note that iframe owner elements will return corresponding document elements as their child nodes.

DOM debugging allows setting breakpoints on particular DOM operations and events. JavaScript execution will stop on these operations as if there was a regular breakpoint set
