What it is

Spider-Flow is a no-code visual web scraping platform that allows users to define crawler workflows using a drag-and-drop flowchart interface instead of writing code. It supports XPath/JsonPath/CSS selectors, handles JS-rendered pages via Selenium plugin, manages proxies, auto-saves to databases/files, and executes via Spring Boot with multi-source SQL support. Maven multi-module monorepo: spider-flow-api/ is the core API module containing executors (executor/), expression engine (expression/), threading models (concurrent/), and context management (context/). The main application modules (not fully listed) build on this via plugin architecture with ShapeExecutor and FunctionExtension…

Open these first:

• spider-flow-core/src/main/java/org/spiderflow/core/Spider.java — Main Spider execution engine that orchestrates the entire flow execution lifecycle and is the entry point for all crawling…
• spider-flow-core/src/main/java/org/spiderflow/core/executor/shape/ProcessExecutor.java — Core shape executor that processes workflow nodes; essential for understanding how individual steps in a spider flow are…
• spider-flow-core/src/main/java/org/spiderflow/core/expression/DefaultExpressionEngine.java — Expression evaluation engine used throughout the codebase to interpret dynamic expressions in workflow definitions.
• spider-flow-api/src/main/java/org/spiderflow/model/Shape.java — Domain model representing workflow nodes; fundamental to understanding the spider flow data structure and serialization.
• spider-flow-api/src/main/java/org/spiderflow/executor/ShapeExecutor.java — Abstract interface defining the contract for executing different workflow node types; key extension point for new…

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Clone and build: git clone https://gitee.com/ssssssss-team/spider-flow.git && cd spider-flow && mvn clean install. Then import spider-flow-api and run the main application (exact module depends on which variant you ne…

Daily commands:

Exact startup command not in provided snippets, but standard Spring Boot: mvn spring-boot:run from the main module, or java -jar spider-flow-xxx.jar after packaging. WebSocket requires websocket dependency (present…

…shortened for this brief.

Key cautions & unknowns

• Stale — last commit 3y ago
• Concentrated ownership — top contributor handles 63% of recent commits
• FastJSON deserialization security (version 1.2.83 is known to have CVEs—verify if patched in build or runtime). Spring Boot 2.0.7 is EOL; ensure JDK 8 compatibility if upgrading. Thread context via ThreadLocal…
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
