13. JavaScript Executor

Estimated reading: 1 minute 17 views

The JavaScriptExecutor in Selenium is an interface that allows you to execute JavaScript code directly in the context of the browser. It provides a way to interact with the browser in scenarios where regular WebDriver commands might not be sufficient. This is especially useful for executing scripts to manipulate the DOM, scroll the page, or trigger events that are difficult to achieve with standard WebDriver commands.

The JavascriptExecutor interface is implemented by the WebDriver class and can be used to execute JavaScript in the browser’s context. It allows you to run JavaScript commands and access the page elements dynamically.
