CDP

Chrome DevTools Protocol #

CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol) is a remote debugging protocol for browsers, for Chromium but also partially implemented in some other browsers like Firefox. Gluon uses CDP to control and talk to browsers, and also exposes a CDP API for raw CDP access. You should not have to use this, if there is something not implemented in Gluon’s API you have to use CDP for, please request it. See the CDP docs for more info.
