如何使用jsoup从整个html页面中删除特定标记

Question

i'm using jsoup 1.7.3 to edit some html files.

what i need is to remove the following tags from the html file :

<meta name="GENERATOR" content="XXXXXXXXXXXXXX">
<meta name="CREATED" content="0;0">
<meta name="CHANGED" content="0;0">

As you see its the tag, how can i do that, here what i've tried so far :

//im pretty sure that the <meta> tag is nested in the <header>
but removing the whole  header is bad practice.

Document docsoup = Jsoup.parse(htmlin);
docsoup.head().remove();

what do you suggest ?

Answer 1

I recommend you use Jsoup selectors , for example

Document document = Jsoup.parse(html);
Elements selector = document.select("meta[name=GENERATOR]");

for (Element element : selector) {
    element.remove();
}

doc.html(); // returns String html with elements removed
