HTML File Manipulation Java API

The Java HTML API assists developers to write, read, modify, navigate and convert (X)HTML documents from within Java applications.

Aspose.HTML for Java API works as a headless browser that allows you to create or open existing HTML documents from various sources in order to perform manipulation operations such as remove and replace HTML nodes, save HTML documents, extract CSS from HTML, configure a document sandbox and more. You may navigate HTML documents by using various methods, such as, element traversal, document traversal, XPath queries, and CSS selector queries as well as manipulate HTML DOM via JavaScript, convert HTML file to images or fixed layout formats, and convert XHTML and EPUB files to other file formats.

Workflow

In order to make changes in the repository, you need to:

1. Create a branch with the proposed changes whose name matches the feature/* pattern.
2. Create a pull request for this branch. It will be automatically assigned to a suitable reviewer.
3. Once the request is approved, it can be merged.

Get Started with Aspose.HTML for Java

Aspose hosts all Java APIs at the Aspose Repository. You can easily use Aspose.HTML for Java API directly in your Maven projects with simple configurations. For the detailed instructions please visit Installing Aspose.HTML for Java from Aspose Repository documentation page.

Load HTML from a Remote Location

HTMLDocument document = HTMLDocument(new Url("template.html"));
// read children nodes and get length information
if (document.getBody().getChildNodes().getLength() == 0)
    System.out.println("No ChildNodes found...");
// print Document URI to console. As per information above, it has to be https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/
System.out.println("Print Document URI = " + document.getDocumentURI());
// print domain name for remote HTML
System.out.println("Domain Name = " + document.getDomain());
