### Why to use Crawlee rather than Scrapy?

- Crawlee has out-of-the-box support for **headless browser** crawling (Playwright).
- Crawlee has a **minimalistic & elegant interface** - Set up your scraper with fewer than 10 lines of code.
- Complete **type hint** coverage.
- Based on standard **Asyncio**.
- **Asyncio-based** – Leveraging the standard [Asyncio](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html) library, Crawlee delivers better performance and seamless compatibility with other modern asynchronous libraries.

- **Separated result storage** – Crawlee provides an easy option for separated result storages ([datasets](https://crawlee.dev/python/api/class/Dataset) & [key-value stores](https://crawlee.dev/python/api/class/KeyValueStore)) for a single scraping run.
