在java中解析带有“unclosed tags”的html

Question

My Question is quite simple: is there a way to parse html in java to a DOM-Document, if there are tags like this img-tag in the htmlcontent?

<p><img src="..."></p>

This is the Codesnippet that gives me a SAXException while parsing these elements:

DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();

InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream( htmlcontent.getBytes());
Document dom = db.parse(is);
is.close();

Answer 1

I don't think so but jsoup can do that. It's not the DOM API but it's quite similar.

Answer 2

You cannot use the DocumentBuilder because it is an XML parser.

But you need an HTML parser like:

• Jericho HTML Parser
• Neko HTML Parser

Answer 3

One of these may help:

• http://htmlparser.sourceforge.net/
• http://home.ccil.org/~cowan/XML/tagsoup/

Answer 4

HTML isn't XML.

Except when you're using XHTML.

So there is no reason an XML parser should parse your HTML.

Use a HTML parser like HtmlCleaner .
