extract language from a web page with Jsoup

Question

For example I have

<html lang="en"> ...... web page </html>

I want to extract the string "en" with Jsoup.

I tried with selector and attribute without success.

Document htmlDoc = Jsoup.parse(html);
Element taglang = htmlDoc.select("html").first();
System.out.println(taglang.text());

Answer 1

Looks like you want to get value of lang attribute . In that case you can use attr("nameOfAttribute") like

System.out.println(taglang.attr("lang"));
