HTML Parser
« on: Jan 21st, 2003, 10:13am » |

Does anyone know or use a good HTML parser for Java that might be used inside Proce55ing? I know that you can do it in swing, but i want to be able to make an applet if I can.
Thanks!

for non-java programmers, how do we integrate all thos libraries inside Processing?
i mean, i have not seen "try{}" or "implement" inside processing, so i assume you don't code in the same manner as in java, and i don't know how to compile directly in java (know the sintax basics, but not "how to")
i need to read an html/text file updated frequently on an URL. a simple file to be parsed, it just has three variables and it's values.
can somebody give an example?

hopefully, this will be available in _beta_ (advanced mode).

in fact, you do. i have some examples that use try-catch statements and interfaces.
Code:
Marts m;
void setup() {
// stuff
size(150,150);
// do some setup stuff here
m = new Marts(); // instantiate a new object
////////
for(int i = 0; i<10; i++) {
println();
}
}
void draw() {
// stuff
println( "int i = " + m.test() ); // print test int i = 1
String s = "hello world";
println( "float f = " + m.testing( s ) ); // print exception and return 0
s = "2.0";
println( "float f = " + m.testing( s ) ); // print 2.0
}
interface Martin {
public int test();
public float testing( String s );
}
class Marts implements Martin {
public int test() {
int i = 1;
return i;
}
public float testing( String s ) {
try {
float f = Float.parseFloat( s );
return f;
} catch( Exception e ) {
println( "'" + s + "' is not a float, returning 0.");
return 0;
}
}
}

you'll need to tango with the server or wrestle with applet security exceptions. i have an example of dancing with the server to load files from remote urls. pls see http://proce55ing.net/discourse/yabb/board_Contribution_Info_ac_tion_display_num_1047145061.html
as for parsing html, you could either import javax.swing and use its parser classes or write your own parser class.
