Xcelerate 0.1.5

Xcelerate SDK for .NET

Xcelerate is a high-performance, lightweight Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) client tailored for the .NET ecosystem. Built on a performance-optimized Rust core, it provides an idiomatic C# wrapper that combines native speed with the safety and ease of use expected by .NET developers.

Features

• Managed Lifecycle: Fully supports IDisposable patterns to ensure clean browser and process termination.
• Async/Await First: Standard Task-based asynchronous API for modern C# applications.
• Advanced Stealth Support: Built-in mechanisms to neutralize automation detection (masking WebDriver, mocking Chrome APIs).
• NativeAOT Compatible: Designed for high performance and low memory footprints.
• Simplified Deployment: Bundles the required native binaries for Windows (x64), removing the need for external C++ or Rust installations on the target machine.

Installation

Install the package via the .NET CLI:

dotnet add package Xcelerate

Basic Usage

Xcelerate emphasizes a clean, readable API. The library handles port polling, browser initialization, and handshake recovery automatically.

using Xcelerate;

// Launch a stealth-hardened browser instance with intelligent defaults
// (Optional: headless=true, stealth=true, detached=true)
using var browser = await Browser.Launch(new BrowserConfig());

// Initialize a new page and perform navigation
using var page = await browser.NewPage("https://www.example.com");

// Capture page metadata
string title = await page.Title();
Console.WriteLine($"Current title: {title}");

// Perform interactions
using var element = await page.WaitForSelector("button.primary");
await element.Click();

// Generate high-resolution full-page screenshots
byte[] screenshot = await page.ScreenshotFull();
File.WriteAllBytes("capture.png", screenshot);

Advanced Configuration

The SDK supports specialized launch options for complex automation scenarios:

• Stealth Mode: Applies binary patches and runtime JavaScript masking to bypass bot detection.
• Detached Mode: Allows the browser process to persist independently of the parent .NET application.
• Headless=New: Utilizes the modern Chromium headless engine for improved rendering and compatibility.

Compatibility

• Frameworks: .NET 8.0, .NET 9.0, .NET 10.0+
• Platform: Windows x64 (Automatic binary deployment via NuGet)
