  The normalized name of the techonlogy.
- `confidence` (e.g., <Type children="100"/>)<br/>
  How sure technology is present on the site, scoring from <Type children="0"/> to <Type children="100"/>.
- `logo` (e.g., <Type children="'https://www.wappalyzer.com/images/icons/CloudFlare.svg'"/>)<br/>
  The technology logo as URL.
- `url` (e.g., <Type children="'http://www.cloudflare.com'"/>)<br/>
