I have a little bit complex, dirty html code. Is there a good HTML Parser that i can use the HTML code as a Java Object?
e.g. I want access this Code:
<html>
<body>
<div id='foo'>
<p id='bar'></p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
like via DOM:
[File/Code].getElementById('foo').appendText('bla');
[File/Code].getElement(Element.DIV).getElement(ELEMENT.P).getValue();
//etc...
have somebody an idea?
Or is there DOM in Java (this does not help :()?
Greetings
Just give http://jsoup.org/ a try. It can handle very broken html.
Example:
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Document document = Jsoup.parse("<html>" +
" <body>" +
" <div id='foo'>" +
" <p id='bar'>TEST</p>" +
" </div>" +
" </body>" +
"</html>");
System.out.println("Add blah to the Element with ID: foo");
Element foo = document.getElementById("foo");
foo.appendText("blah");
System.out.println(document.html());
System.out.println("Get the content of a div having a p:");
for (Element div : document.getElementsByTag("div"))
{
for (Element p : div.getElementsByTag("p"))
{
System.out.println(p.text());
}
}
}
