If you want to parse HTML straight into a dom4j Document then I recommend
you take a good look at NekoHTML from Andy Clark in Xerces. It can be used
as a regular SAX parser so it plugs right into the dom4j SAXReader.
You can instantiate NekoHTML as follows
There's nothing quicker than the following:
XMLReader xmlReader = new org.cyberneko.html.parsers.SAXParser();
or through the SAX helper class if you like:
String className = "org.cyberneko.html.parsers.SAXParser";
XMLReader xmlReader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(className);
Then use it with dom4j as follows
SAXReader reader = new SAXReader( xmlReader );
Document doc = reader.read( "foo.html" );
Right now NekoHTML is fast and doesn't require any W3C DOM. Though I guess
JTidy might do a few more clever things to fix really wierd HTML but I'm
sure over time Neko will catch up.
