Show HN: HtmlUnit 5.0.0 Is Available (opens in new tab)
HtmlUnit is a "GUI-Less browser for Java programs". It models HTML documents and provides an API that allows you to invoke pages, fill out forms, click links, etc... just like you do in your "normal" browser.

It is typically used for testing purposes or to retrieve information from websites.
