Writing an xhtml file after reading its content from Jsoup

Question

I need to be able to manipulate the content of an xhtml file (modify some text within), then write everything back to an xhtml file (could be the same) to be able to user it later. Is it possible with Jsoup or need another library/code to do it? thanks

Answer 1

Yes, this is possible with Jsoup alone. You don't need any extra libraries. Just have a look at the Jsoup Cookbook . If it is really XHTML you could even do it with any XML DOM implementation; Jsoup doesn't come with a formatter for the output so you would just toString the modified Document with no further control which may or may not be acceptable.

Answer 2

XSLT might be your friend in this case. Give it a Google anyway, but it sounds like a good starting point.
