In the outgoing year, one of the priority areas was the development of JavaScript scrapers and functionality for working with Node.js. One of the final stages was this release, in which the long-awaited support for https/tls in Node.js modules was implemented. Efforts have also focused on increasing stability and performance. As a result, a lot of developments have been made, which in the first half of 2019 are planned to be released as a new A-Parser 2.0, where there will be many new and cool features
A-Parser team wishes you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We wish you success in business, profitable projects and bright ideas. Let the New Year 2019 be a year of new opportunities, all plans come true, and the work brings pleasure!
