In an AJAX-based application, the links that the crawler can identify depend on the application's logic flow. In this section, we will talk about three tools that can be used to crawl AJAX applications:
- The AJAX Crawling Tool
- Sprajax
- AJAX Spider OWASP ZAP
As with any automated task, crawling AJAX applications must be carefully configured, logged, and monitored, as they may cause calls to unexpected functions and trigger undesired effects on the application, affecting the contents of the database, for example.
