PhantomJS ([www.phantomjs.org](http://phantomjs.org)) is a headless WebKit with JavaScript API. It used by hundreds of [developers](http://code.google.com/p/phantomjs/wiki/ExternalArticles) and dozens of [organizations](http://code.google.com/p/phantomjs/wiki/WhoUsesPhantomJS) for web-related development workflow.
The latest [stable release](http://code.google.com/p/phantomjs/wiki/ReleaseNotes) is version 1.5 (codenamed "Ghost Flower"). Follow the official Twitter stream [@HeadlessPhantom](http://twitter.com/HeadlessPhantom) to get the frequent development updates.
## Use Cases
- **Headless web testing**. Lightning-fast testing without the browser is now possible! Various [test frameworks](http://code.google.com/p/phantomjs/wiki/TestFrameworkIntegration) such as Jasmine, Capybara, QUnit, YUI Test, BusterJS, FuncUnit, and many others are supported.
- **Site scraping**. [Access and manipulate](http://code.google.com/p/phantomjs/wiki/QuickStart#DOM_Manipulation) webpages with the standard DOM API, or with usual libraries like jQuery.
- **Page rendering**. [Capture](http://code.google.com/p/phantomjs/wiki/QuickStart#Rendering) the full contents, even with SVG and Canvas, to an image. Build server-side web graphics apps, from a screenshot service to vector chart generator.
- **Network monitoring**. [Monitor](http://code.google.com/p/phantomjs/wiki/QuickStart#Network_traffic) network activity, track resource loading, perform load-balancing tests, verify contents optimization, and many others.
