A Java-based HTML to text conversion library with support for nested tables and a subset of CSS. Please take a look at the Rendering document for a demonstration of Inscriptis conversion quality.
This is a Java port of inscriptis for Python.
Here is a quick teaser of an application using inscriptis for Java:
package example; import org.jsoup.Jsoup; import org.jsoup.helper.W3CDom; import org.w3c.dom.Document; import ch.x28.inscriptis.Inscriptis; public class Example { public static void main(String[] args) { String htmlContent = "<p style=\"margin-top:0px\">Hello World!</p>"; // use jsoup to parse HTML and convert it to W3C Document (https://jsoup.org) Document document = W3CDom.convert(Jsoup.parse(htmlContent)); Inscriptis inscriptis = new Inscriptis(document); String text = inscriptis.getText(); System.out.println(text); // Hello World! } }
Add the Maven dependency:
<dependency> <groupId>ch.x28.inscriptis</groupId> <artifactId>inscriptis</artifactId> <version>1.0</version> </dependency>
inscriptis requires a W3C document, so it's up to you which parser you choose. Here is a list of parsers that support a W3C document result.
