formasaurus 0.8

Formasaurus is a Python package that tells you the type of an HTML form and its fields using machine learning.

It can detect if a form is a login, search, registration, password recovery, “join mailing list”, contact, order form or something else, which field is a password field and which is a search query, etc.
