Python Chrome DevTools Protocol (shortened to PyCDP) is a library that provides

Python wrappers for the types, commands, and events specified in the [Chrome

DevTools Protocol](https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/devtools-protocol/).

The Chrome DevTools Protocol provides for remote control of a web browser by

sending JSON messages over a WebSocket. That JSON format is described by a

machine-readable specification. This specification is used to automatically

generate the classes and methods found in this library.

You could write a CDP client by connecting a WebSocket and then sending JSON

objects, but this would be tedious and error-prone: the Python interpreter would

not catch any typos in your JSON objects, and you wouldn't get autocomplete for

any parts of the JSON data structure. By providing a set of native Python

wrappers, this project makes it easier and faster to write CDP client code.

**This library does not perform any I/O!** In order to maximize

flexibility, this library does not actually handle any network I/O, such as

opening a socket or negotiating a WebSocket protocol. Instead, that

responsibility is left to higher-level libraries, for example

[trio-chrome-devtools-protocol](https://github.com/hyperiongray/trio-chrome-devtools-protocol).
