I want to use curl in java. Is curl built-in with Java or I have to install it from any 3rd party source to use with Java? If it needs to be separately installed, how can that be done?

    You can make use of java.net.URL and/or java.net.URLConnection.

    URL url = new URL("https://stackoverflow.com");

try (BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream(), "UTF-8"))) {
    for (String line; (line = reader.readLine()) != null;) {
        System.out.println(line);
    }
}

    Also see the Oracle’s simple tutorial on the subject. It’s however a bit verbose. To end up with less verbose code, you may want to consider Apache HttpClient instead.

    By the way: if your next question is "How to process HTML result?", then the answer is "Use a HTML parser. No, don’t use regex for this.".
