ChromeDevTools.Host

The library allows to host a chrome dev protocol endpoint into your own .net 4.7.2 application or a asp.net core application.

You can then use the Chrome DevTools to explore your application. The idea is that th ChromeDevTools should explore the domain information and not low level data: in case of chrome, you do not see the full set of low level TCP info or low-level C++ javascript objects details but the network activities or the javascript objects. You can now do the same with your application !

Supported feature

• Logging support
• Memory analysis
• Scripting
• Debugging virtual scripts
