## What is it?

```ferret``` is a web scraping system. It aims to simplify data extraction from the web for UI testing, machine learning, analytics and more.    

```ferret``` allows users to focus on the data. It abstracts away the technical details and complexity of underlying technologies using its own declarative language. 

It is extremely portable, extensible, and fast.
