Java HTML Parsing Primer Tutorial<\/p><\/div>\n

Here is a tutorial that parses HTML in a Java console application overseen by the Eclipse IDE<\/a>. For this tutorial, where we parse an HTML url via a parent HTML element of a designated HTML element type and class, and then drill down to display any text elements within that parent HTML element, we needed to get from the brilliant SourceForge<\/a>, and all its brilliant Open Source contributors, an external jar<\/a> Java archive file for the HTML parsing HtmlCleaner<\/i><\/a> library. During the tutorial you’ll see one of the advantages of IDEs for Java work … making the use of external jar files easier to organize (than with command line javac\/java usage).<\/p>\n

You may be interested by the use of command line argument checking code, and the associated Run Configuration settings within the Eclipse Run->Run Configurations… to make use of this possibility, and if it is not used, the interactive Scanner methods<\/a> to accept interactive input from a Java user.<\/p>\n

Link to Java programming source code which you should rename to AnalyzeHtml.java<\/a><\/p>\n

Really really really weally (yes weally) really really hope you enjoy the tutorial<\/a>. By the way, a strange thing happened while making this tutorial … lunar coding<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Did you know?<\/b><\/p>\n

Tim Berners-Lee<\/a> invented HTML.<\/p>\n
