jsoup: Java HTML Parser

pulsar jsoup is an extension of jsoup to calculate advanced features of each DOM node.

jsoup is a Java library for working with real-world HTML. It provides a very convenient API for extracting and manipulating data, using the best of DOM, CSS, and jquery-like methods.

jsoup implements the WHATWG HTML5 specification, and parses HTML to the same DOM as modern browsers do.

• scrape and parse HTML from a URL, file, or string
• find and extract data, using DOM traversal or CSS selectors
• manipulate the HTML elements, attributes, and text
• clean user-submitted content against a safe white-list, to prevent XSS attacks
• output tidy HTML

jsoup is designed to deal with all varieties of HTML found in the wild; from pristine and validating, to invalid tag-soup; jsoup will create a sensible parse tree.

See jsoup.org for downloads and the full API documentation.

Example

Fetch the Wikipedia homepage, parse it to a DOM, and select the headlines from the In the News section into a list of Elements:

Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://en.wikipedia.org/").get();
log(doc.title());
Elements newsHeadlines = doc.select("#mp-itn b a");
for (Element headline : newsHeadlines) {
  log("%s\n\t%s", 
    headline.attr("title"), headline.absUrl("href"));
}
