SlimerJS is implementing almost [the API of Phantomjs](http://phantomjs.org/api/). Here are compatibility tables and other specific API to SlimerJS. # Main differences with PhantomJS 2.1 You'll found in the documentation [a list of differences](https://github.com/laurentj/slimerjs/blob/master/docs/differences-with-phantomjs.rst). of behaviors in the APIs implementation and in the web platform. # Command-line arguments and options
