Web scraping is the process of extracting data from a website, usually in a different format to that in which it is displayed. It can be performed in many programming languages, but web scraping in Javascript is especially simple due to the ability to interactively explore the DOM in the Dev Tools of your browser. Using Javascript you can build up a scraping script piece by piece by finding the data you require on a web page directly in your web browser, then save the resulting script to use again and again at a later date.
