Question

Without the use of any external library, what is the simplest way to fetch a website’s HTML content into a String?

Answer 1

I’m currently using this:

String content = null; URLConnection connection = null; try {   connection =  new URL('http://www.google.com').openConnection();   Scanner scanner = new Scanner(connection.getInputStream());   scanner.useDelimiter('\\Z');   content = scanner.next();   scanner.close(); }catch ( Exception ex ) {     ex.printStackTrace(); } System.out.println(content); 

But not sure if there’s a better way.
