Yes, jsoup (Java HTML Parser) is officially available in the Maven Central Repository. To use jsoup in your Java project managed by Maven, you need to add the following dependency to your project's pom.xml file:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jsoup</groupId>
<artifactId>jsoup</artifactId>
<version>1.15.2</version> <!-- Make sure to use the latest version available -->
</dependency>
Always ensure you are using the latest version of jsoup by checking the Maven Central Repository or the official jsoup website for the most recent release. The version number mentioned above (1.15.2) may not be the latest when you are setting up your project, so it's a good practice to verify it.
To include jsoup in your project, add the above dependency snippet inside the <dependencies> element of your pom.xml file. When you build your project, Maven will automatically download and include the jsoup library in your classpath.
Here's an example of how to include the jsoup dependency in a complete pom.xml file:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.example</groupId>
<artifactId>my-web-scraper</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<dependencies>
<!-- jsoup HTML parser library -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jsoup</groupId>
<artifactId>jsoup</artifactId>
<version>1.15.2</version>
</dependency>
<!-- other dependencies can be added here as well -->
</dependencies>
</project>
After adding the dependency, you can use jsoup in your Java code to parse and manipulate HTML documents. Here's a simple example:
import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Document;
public class JsoupExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String html = "<html><head><title>First Parse</title></head>"
+ "<body><p>Parsed HTML into a doc.</p></body></html>";
Document doc = Jsoup.parse(html);
System.out.println(doc.title());
}
}
When you run your Maven project, it will compile and execute with jsoup included, allowing you to scrape and manipulate HTML content as needed.
