Answer 1

Use jsoup.

jsoup is a Java library for working with real-world HTML. It
provides a very convenient API for extracting and manipulating data,
using the best of DOM, CSS, and jquery-like methods.

jsoup implements the WHATWG HTML5 specification, and parses HTML to
the same DOM as modern browsers do.

• scrape and parse HTML from a URL, file, or string
• find and extract data, using DOM traversal or CSS selectors
• manipulate the HTML elements, attributes, and text
• clean user-submitted content against a safe white-list, to prevent XSS attacks
• output tidy HTML

jsoup is designed to deal with all varieties of HTML found in the
wild; from pristine and validating, to invalid tag-soup; jsoup will
create a sensible parse tree.
