I'm in the process of developing a utility that will need to be able to read from html pages and RSS feeds, both of which require parsing HTML and I've yet to be able to locate a convenient parser.

Could anyone point me towards a useful library for this? Or a page that illustrates how to do it with built in java libraries?

You may want to have a look at this Link. Also, you can check out the snippets in my contributions, as I have based some of my snippets on this HTML Parser.

How well does it work, considering its last update is 2006/09/23?

Well, they have an API like any other third party which i used if you want to check it out.

Depends on what you want to do, the good thing about a HTML Parser is that its good for complex operations which you may/may not be doing.


I used it to create a mini web crawler.

If its just grabbing source code your looking for, you can use the java.net class.

After looking at the parser class, this will suit me just fine.


Thanks very much.


Oh and saw your sample, lets me understand it even moreso.

I've used several of these.
