Java - library to generate source code changed e.g. by JavaScript from normal source code from browser?

Question

the view source browser feature shows the plain HTML as received by the browser. When I look at the same source code in Firefug. For example Firefox shows you the HTML code, while Firebug shows the rendered code. Is there any way to obtain rendered code from standard source code in Java? Some library?

Answer 1

If you'd like to get rendered HTML, try to use HtmlUnit . It invokes most of the JavaScript events (onload, onclick, onsubmit...) automatically and allows you to act as "normal" browser:

WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
HtmlPage page = webClient.getPage("http://www.br.de/fernsehen/bayerisches-fernsehen/sendungen/abendschau/bayerwald-tierpark-livereportage-100.html");
DomNodeList<DomElement> objectList = page.getElementsByTagName("object");

Isn't this the same as the question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15808354/java-convert-html-source-code-of-string-type-by-show-source-code-to-source ?
