JSoup-按标签获取标签之间的文本

Question

Scenario: I used Apache Tika to get XHTML from a DOCX file. I need to parse this XHTML to get text between particular tags (eg div or p tag). For this I use Jsoup to get text between tags.

Problem: Originally the XHTML has this text:

some text [tab-space][tab-space] other text.

But with Jsoup i am getting this:

some text other text.

So the tag spaces are missing but i need to get the text as is ie including tag-spaces . Is it possible to do this using Jsoup or is there any other Java library to do so?

Answer 1

Use the getWholeText method for TextNodes: https://jsoup.org/apidocs/org/jsoup/nodes/TextNode.html#getWholeText--

final Document doc = Jsoup.parse(new File(".\\source.xhtml"), "UTF-8");

for (Element result : doc.select("div")) {
    final String text = ((TextNode) result.childNode(0)).getWholeText();
    System.out.println(text);
}
