I know how to parse RSS feeds, but how can one read the articles ? Do I have to scrape the website? Or is there an alternative for parsing the article in java?

Thanks in advance

Edit:
I decided to use jSoup.

    Well the RSS feed (presumably) contains URLs that are the links to the articles, so it (presumably) boils down to what you mean by “read”.

    • If you simply need to fetch them, then use URL.getInputStream or some other HTTP client library.

    • If you want to display the news article pages for the end user to read, then you just need to open the URL in the native browser.

    • If you want to extract the article text, then yes you do need to parse the HTML either using a proper HTML parser or (blech!) using kludgey text pattern recognition that ignores the HTML structure.
