Package org.jsoup.parser

Class Parser

java.lang.Object
org.jsoup.parser.Parser

public class Parser extends Object
Parses HTML or XML into a Document. Generally, it is simpler to use one of the parse methods in Jsoup.

Note that a Parser instance object is not threadsafe. To reuse a Parser configuration in a multi-threaded environment, use newInstance() to make copies.

      Parse HTML into a Document.

    • parseFragment

      public static List<Node> parseFragment(String fragmentHtml, Element context, String baseUri)

      Returns:
      list of nodes parsed from the input HTML. Note that the context element, if supplied, is not modified.
    • parseFragment

      public static List<Node> parseFragment(String fragmentHtml, Element context, String baseUri, ParseErrorList errorList)
      Parse a fragment of HTML into a list of nodes. The context element, if supplied, supplies parsing context.
      Parameters:
      fragmentHtml - the fragment of HTML to parse
      context - (optional) the element that this HTML fragment is being parsed for (i.e. for inner HTML). This provides stack context (for implicit element creation).
      baseUri - base URI of document (i.e. original fetch location), for resolving relative URLs.
      errorList - list to add errors to
      Returns:
      list of nodes parsed from the input HTML. Note that the context element, if supplied, is not modified.
    • parseXmlFragment

      Parse a fragment of XML into a list of nodes.
      Parameters:
      fragmentXml - the fragment of XML to parse

      Returns:
      an unescaped string
    • htmlParser

      public static Parser htmlParser()

      Returns:
      a new HTML parser.
    • xmlParser

      public static Parser xmlParser()
      Create a new XML parser. This parser assumes no knowledge of the incoming tags and does not treat it as HTML, rather creates a simple tree directly from the input.
      Returns:
      a new simple XML parser.
