You're right, I think merged a few things together when writing the comment. What I meant is that (if you ignore PrinceXML and focus on FOSS) you're down to 3 options:
- wkhtmltopdf
- weasyprint
- (headless) chromium with puppeteer et al.
The first one I found to be unreliable, the second one is super slow and the third can be annoying to work with.
wkhtmltopdf is not chromium though? "Wk" literally stands for WebKit.
There's also https://weasyprint.org/ which doesn't use any browser engine, but rather a custom renderer.
And both of those (and Prince) can be used as a backend by Pandoc (https://pandoc.org/)

like https://www.princexml.com/ ?
Yea, Prince is awesome. Not FOSS tho. I make some GPL or MIT licensed software and wish there was something as good a Prince with more open license.
