Go to Tutorial page.

ArrowDL is a standalone application, embedding its own web engine. That is, it aims to be free and independent, and not rely on any third-party Web Browser technology.

The internal web engine is currently:

• Google Gumbo Parser, for the MinGW and GNU versions.

  Gumbo is a small pure-C HTML5 parser (but doesn't parse Javascript)

• Chromium, for the MSVC version.

  Chromium is a powerful web engine (parses HTML+Javascript)

When we give an URL address to ArrowDL, ArrowDL downloads the page, parses the HTML page and collects the links.

Due to rapid evolution of web technology, ArrowDL is designed to implement new parsers or add existing ones if required.
