Following example will showcase use of methods to get inner html and outer html after parsing an HTML String into a Document object.
Syntax
Document document = Jsoup.parse(html);
Element link = document.select("a").first();
System.out.println("Outer HTML: " + link.outerHtml());
System.out.println("Inner HTML: " + link.html());
Where
-
document − document object represents the HTML DOM.
-
Jsoup − main class to parse the given HTML String.
-
html − HTML String.
-
link − Element object represent the html node element representing anchor tag.
-
link.outerHtml() − outerHtml() method retrives the element complete html.
-
link.html() − html() method retrives the element inner html.
Description
Element object represent a dom elment and provides various method to get the html of a dom element.
Example
Create the following java program using any editor of your choice in say C:/> jsoup.
JsoupTester.java
import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Document;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Element;
public class JsoupTester {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String html = "<html><head><title>Sample Title</title></head>"
+ "<body>"
+ "<p>Sample Content</p>"
+ "<div id=''sampleDiv''><a href=''www.google.com''>Google</a>"
+ "<h3><a>Sample</a><h3>"
+"</div>"
+"</body></html>";
Document document = Jsoup.parse(html);
//a with href
Element link = document.select("a").first();
System.out.println("Outer HTML: " + link.outerHtml());
System.out.println("Inner HTML: " + link.html());
}
}
Verify the result
Compile the class using javac compiler as follows:
C:jsoup>javac JsoupTester.java
Now run the JsoupTester to see the result.
C:jsoup>java JsoupTester
See the result.
Outer HTML: <a href="www.google.com">Google</a> Inner HTML: Google
