Question

I have made little test (with Jsoup 1.6.1):

String s = "" +Jsoup.parse("<td></td>").select("td").size();
System.out.println("Selected elements count : " + s);

It outputs:

Selected elements count : 0

But it should return 1, because I have parsed html with td element. What is wrong with my code or is there bug in Jsoup?

Answer 1

Jsoup 1.6.2 allows to parse with different parser and simple XML parser is provided. With following code I could solve my problem. You can later parse your fragment with HTML parse, to get valid HTML.

// Jsoup 1.6.2
String s = "" + Jsoup.parse("<td></td>", "", Parser.xmlParser()).select("td").size();
System.out.println("Selected elements count : " + s);
