Browser emulator system

1. A computer-implemented system comprising:

a communications module to receive, using at least one processor, a request for a web page;

a document object model (DOM) interceptor to intercept, using at least one processor, an original document object model (DOM) provided by a web application in response to the request;

an activator to activate, using at least one processor, a browser emulator, the browser emulator being a Java runtime configured to execute JavaScript code;

a DOM manipulator to extract JavaScript code from the original DOM and to replace, using at least one processor, JavaScript code in the original DOM with an event interceptor to produce a modified DOM, the modified DOM corresponding to the requested web page, the event interceptor to facilitate communications over a specialized communications channel between a browser application that renders the web page and the browser emulator; and

the browser emulator to:

receive a request issued by the event interceptor loaded in the browser application, and

commence executing the JavaScript code extracted from the original DOM.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the communications module is to:

generate the requested web page corresponding to the modified DOM; and

provide the web page to the browser application.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the browser emulator is to:

receive an event from the browser application that renders the web page via the specialized communications channel;

execute JavaScript code associated with the event; and

propagate a result of the execution of the JavaScript code associated with the event to the browser application.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the browser emulator is to update the modified DOM in response to the execution of the JavaScript code associated with the event.

5. The system of claim 3 , wherein the event is associated with a user action.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the result of the execution of the JavaScript code associated with the event is associated with a visual presentation of the web page.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the browser emulator is in communication with a debugging module, the browser emulator to provide data associated with execution of the JavaScript code to the debugging module.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the browser emulator is provided as part of an integrated development environment.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the browser emulator and the browser application that renders the web page are provided on the same hardware.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the event interceptor is provided according to a type of the browser application that renders the web page.

11. A computer-implemented method comprising:

using one or more processors to perform at least some of operations of:

receiving a request for a web page;

intercepting an original document object model (DOM) provided by a web application in response to the request;

activating a browser emulator, the browser emulator being a Javaruntime configured to execute JavaScript code;

extracting JavaScript code from the original DOM;

replacing JavaScript code in the original DOM with an event interceptor to produce a modified DOM, the modified DOM corresponding to the requested web page, the event interceptor to facilitate communications over a specialized communications channel between a browser application that renders the web page and the browser emulator;

loading the event interceptor in the browser application;

receiving a request issued by the event interceptor loaded in the browser application; and commencing executing the JavaScript code extracted from the original DOM.

12. The method of claim 11 , comprising:

generating the requested web page corresponding to the modified DOM; and

providing the web page to the browser application.

13. The method of claim 11 , comprising:

receiving an event from the browser application that renders the web page via the specialized communications channel;

executing JavaScript code associated with the event; and

propagating a result of the execution of the JavaScript code associated with the event to the browser application.

14. The method of claim 13 , comprising updating the modified DOM in response to the executing of the JavaScript code associated with the event.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the event is associated with a user action.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the result of the executing of the JavaScript code associated with the event is associated with a visual presentation of the web page.

17. The method of claim 13 , comprising providing data associated with the executing of the JavaScript code to a debugging module.

18. The method of claim 13 , wherein the executing of the JavaScript code is performed in an integrated development environment.

19. The method of claim 11 , comprising:

determining a vendor-specific type of the browser application; and

replacing the JavaScript code in the original DOM with the event interceptor based on the vendor-specific type of the browser application.

20. A machine-readable non-transitory storage medium having instruction data to cause a machine to perform operations comprising:

receive a request for a web page;

intercept an original document object model (DOM) provided by a web application in response to the request;

activate a browser emulator, the browser emulator being a Java runtime configured to execute JavaScript code;

extract JavaScript code from the original DOM;

replace JavaScript code in the original DOM with an event interceptor to produce a modified DOM, the modified DOM corresponding to the requested web page, the event interceptor to facilitate communications over a specialized communications channel between a browser application that readers the we page and the browser emulator;

load the event interceptor in the browser application;

receive a request issued by the event interceptor loaded in the browser application; and commence executing the JavaScript code extracted from the original DOM.
