jsoup - Loading URL

Overview

Jsoup.connect(url) method makes a connection to the url and Jsoup.get() method return the html of the requested url.

Syntax

String url = "http://www.google.com";
Document document = Jsoup.connect(url).get();

Where

• document − document object represents the HTML DOM.

• Jsoup − main class to parse the given HTML String.

• url − url of the html page to load.

Get the data using document object

Element body = document.body();

Here body represents element children of the document's body element and is equivalent to document.getElementsByTag("body").

Read tag values

Elements divs = body.getElementsByTag("div");
for (Element div : divs) {
   System.out.println(div.text());
}

Example - Connecting and loading HTML title

JsoupTester.java

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.io.IOException;

import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Document;

public class JsoupTester {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
   
      String url = "http://www.google.com";
      Document document = Jsoup.connect(url).get();
