The HTML Parser Libraries.

These java libraries provide access to the contents of local or remote HTML resources in a programatic way.

Components

The HTML Parser distribution is composed of:

Getting Started

For novice users, an introductory guide on how to set up your environment to use the HTML Parser is provided in HTML Parser for Dummies.

Building

To build the HTML Parser you'll need to get the sources from the HTML Parser project on Sourceforge if you haven't already, and then follow the build instructions.

Outstanding Issues.

Bugs are by far, the highest priority issues. Various reports of bugs related to the HTML Parser is available from the Bug Tracker on SourceForge. Issues related to incorrect behaviour of the current parser should be logged and tracked using this mechanism. Please use task lists and enhancement requests for issues that would not be considered bugs.

Several task lists are used to track the items that are not percieved as bugs, but are viewed by developers as things that need attention. The following list summarizes the purpose and target issues for each list.

The Request For Enhancement list contains items that are proposed for future versions of the parser. Users may add to this list what they feel are extensions beyond simple bug fixing. Some user entered bugs are also transferred to this list if the scope of the fix would be too significant a change for the current version, or involve API changes that need to be vetted against the current user community.

Mailing Lists.

If you want to be notified when new releases of HTML Parser are available, join the HTML Parser Announcement List.
If you have questions about the usage of the parser, join the HTML Parser User List.
