Jsoup select and iterate all elements

Question

I will connect to a url through jsoup and get all the contents of it but the thing is if I select like,

doc.select("body")

its returning a single element but I want to get all the elements in the page and iterate them one by one for example,

<html>
<head><title>Test</title></head>
<body>
<p>Hello All</p>
<a href="test.html">Second Page</a>
<div>Test</div>
</body>
</html>

If I select using body I am getting the result in a single line like,

Test Hello All Second Page Test

Instead I want to select all elements and iterate one by one and produce the results like,

Test
Hello All
Second Page
Test

Will that be possible using jsoup?

Thanks,
Karthik

Answer 1

You can select all elements of the document using * selector and then get text of each individually using Element#ownText() .

Elements elements = document.body().select("*");

for (Element element : elements) {
    System.out.println(element.ownText());
}

Answer 2

To get all of the elements within the body of the document using jsoup library.

doc.body().children().select("*");

To get just the first level of elements in the documents body elements.

doc.body().children();

You can use XPath or any library which contain XPath
