Jericho HTML Parser is a java library allowing analysis and manipulation of parts of an HTML document, including server-side tags, while reproducing verbatim any unrecognised or invalid HTML. Also provides high-level HTML form manipulation functions.

Version 3.1 includes important bug fixes and the following enhancements:

- A new stream based parsing option using the StreamedSource class, which
allows memory efficient processing of large files using an event iterator.
This is essentially a StAX alternative with the ability to process HTML
and non-validating XML, as well as several other features not available
in other streaming parsers.... read more

Jericho HTML Parser 2.3 has been uploaded to the ibiblio Maven repository under the new group id "net.htmlparser.jericho".

This will reflect the new java package name in the next major release.

The new POM file is located here:
http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/net/htmlparser/jericho/jericho-html/2.3/jericho-html-2.3.pom

A relocation POM file has also been added under the old group id for the benefit of existing maven users.

Jericho HTML Parser is a simple but powerful java library allowing analysis and manipulation of parts of an HTML document, including some common server-side tags, while reproducing verbatim any unrecognised or invalid HTML. Also provides useful HTML form utilities.

Version 2.3 includes important bug fixes as well as some minor improvements.

Changes since version 2.2:
- Bug Fixes:
- [1510438] NullPointerException in Source.indent.
- [1511480] Incorrect detection of non-html element with nested
empty-element tag of same name.
- [1547562] Fault in caching mechanism.
- Source.fullSequentialParse() sometimes resulted in unregistered
tags being returned in tag searches.
- Invalid Empty-element tags whose name is in either of the sets
HTMLElements.getEndTagOptionalElementNames() or
HTMLElements.getEndTagRequiredElementNames() were rejected by the
parser if the slash immediately follows the tag name.
- StartTag.tidy() only included a slash before the closing delimiter
of the tag if the tag name was in the set of
HTMLElements.getEndTagForbiddenElementNames(). It now includes the
slash for all tag names not in getEndTagOptionalElementNames().
- Source.fullSequentialParse() now clears the cache automatically
instead of throwing an IllegalStateException if the cache is not
empty.
- Changes to behaviour of Source.indent:
- preserves indenting in SCRIPT elements, server elements,
HTML comments and CDATA sections.
- keeps SCRIPT elements, HTML comments, XML declarations,
XML processing instructions and markup declarations inline.
- Minor documentation improvements.

Jericho HTML Parser is a simple but powerful Java library for analysing and modifying HTML. It ignores any server-side code/markup or invalid HTML, while still being able to analyse and modify parts and reproduce the rest verbatim.

The library distinguishes itself from other HTML parsers by its three major features:

1. No parse tree of the entire document is ever generated. In this sense the toolkit is strictly speaking not a true parser. The document source text is searched only for the markup relevant to the current operation. This allows the toolkit to analyse and modify documents containing JSP, ASP, PHP, incorrect or badly formatted HTML, or any other server or client side code, script, macro or markup. Most other parsers can't handle content that they are not explicitly programmed to accept. ... read more
