Question

Sorry if this is too simple, but I simply couldn’t find a tutorial nor the documentation of the Java version of TagSoup.

Basically I want to download an HTML webpage from the internet and turn it into XHTML, contained in a string. How can I do this with TagSoup?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Something like this:

wget -O - example.com/bad.html | java -jar tagsoup.jar

Or, from Java:

To parse HTML:

• Create an instance of org.ccil.cowan.tagsoup.Parser
• Provide your own SAX2 ContentHandler
• Provide an InputSource referring to the HTML
• And parse()!
