I am trying to use php to retrieve a html page via curl

Is there a way to execute the whole html page & JS of the curl response via v8js so you can get access to the env variables? of the page?

It's not a headless browser, it's a js embedded in php.

To emulate full browser stack you need to parse the page, extract all javascripts and execute them emulating all DOM js methods.

This task should be, imho, closed since the goal of the library isn't a creation of headless browser )
