C# vs. Pine Script vs. Python vs. WebScraper.io Comparison Chart

Pine Script® is TradingView’s programming language. It allows traders to create their own trading tools and run them on our servers. We designed Pine Script® as a lightweight, yet powerful, language for developing indicators and strategies that you can then backtest. Most of TradingView’s built-in indicators are written in Pine Script®, and our thriving community of Pine Script® programmers has published more than 100,000 community scripts. It’s our explicit goal to keep Pine Script® accessible and easy to understand for the broadest possible audience. Pine Script® is cloud-based and therefore different from client-side programming languages. While we likely won’t develop Pine Script® into a full-fledged language, we do constantly improve it and are always happy to consider requests for new features. Because each script uses computational resources in the cloud, we must impose limits in order to share these resources fairly among our users.

Making web data extraction easy and accessible for everyone. Our goal is to make web data extraction as simple as possible. Configure scraper by simply pointing and clicking on elements. No coding required. Web Scraper can extract data from sites with multiple levels of navigation. It can navigate a website on all levels. Websites today are built on top of JavaScript frameworks that make user interface easier to use but are less accessible to scrapers. WebScraper.io allows you to build Site Maps from different types of selectors. This system makes it possible to tailor data extraction to different site structures. Build scrapers, scrape sites and export data in CSV format directly from your browser. Use Web Scraper Cloud to export data in CSV, XLSX and JSON formats, access it via API, webhooks or get it exported via Dropbox, Google Sheets or Amazon S3.
