How do you parse HTML in Java?

[winstonsam]

How should you decide which HTML parser to use? And, not the proliferation of HTML parser out there means that there is something wrong with the JDK HTML parser, javax.swing.text.html.HTMLEditorKit.Parser?

JAVA in my opinion

[ritzbhogal delnaz]

HTML Parser is the best option for parse HTML in Java. It is a Java library used to parse HTML in either a linear or nested fashion.

HTMLParser is a super fast real time parser for real-world HTML which serves as the basis for parsing text files formatted in HTML.

Basically in the few cases that I had to process HTML, I wanted to be able to treat it like a DOM tree so I ended up using tid. This allowed me to use simple xpath to extract bits and pieces out of the html. And its main issues are jtid seems to be not maintained for several years. I ended up pulling an unreleased version from the version repository with several quite essential fixes it is quite slow.
