javax.swing.text.html.parser
Class Parser

java.lang.Object
  extended by javax.swing.text.html.parser.Parser
All Implemented Interfaces:
DTDConstants
Direct Known Subclasses:
DocumentParser

public class Parser
extends Object
implements DTDConstants

A simple DTD-driven HTML parser. The parser reads an HTML file from an InputStream and calls various methods (which should be overridden in a subclass) when tags and data are encountered.

Unfortunately there are many badly implemented HTML parsers out there, and as a result there are many badly formatted HTML files. This parser attempts to parse most HTML files. This means that the implementation sometimes deviates from the SGML specification in favor of HTML.

The parser treats \r and \r\n as \n. Newlines after starttags and before end tags are ignored just as specified in the SGML/HTML specification.

The html spec does not specify how spaces are to be coalesced very well. Specifically, the following scenarios are not discussed (note that a space should be used here, but I am using &nbsp to force the space to be displayed):

'<b>blah <i> <strike> foo' which can be treated as: '<b>blah <i><strike>foo'

as well as: '<p><a href="xx"> <em>Using</em></a></p>' which appears to be treated as: '<p><a href="xx"><em>Using</em></a></p>'

If strict is false, when a tag that breaks flow, (TagElement.breaksFlows) or trailing whitespace is encountered, all whitespace will be ignored until a non whitespace character is encountered. This appears to give behavior closer to the popular browsers.

Field Detail

dtd

protected DTD dtd

strict

protected boolean strict
This flag determines whether or not the Parser will be strict in enforcing SGML compatibility. If false, it will be lenient with certain common classes of erroneous HTML constructs. Strict or not, in either case an error will be recorded.
