This version adds bulk HTML methods to the Elements collection, supports easy form validation of HTML user input, improves bulk attribute matching, and includes fixes for some minor bugs.

A hearty thanks to everyone that has tried jsoup and written in to me or to the mailing list with their experiences. Your input is directly shaping jsoup for the better.

jsoup is now also available on the Maven central repository, so getting started is easier. See the details on the download page.

jsoup is a Java library for working with real-world HTML:

• parse HTML from a URL, file, or string
• find and extract data, using DOM traversal or CSS selectors
• manipulate the HTML elements, attributes, and text
• clean user-submitted content against a safe white-list

jsoup is designed to deal with all varieties of HTML found in the wild; from pristine and validating, to invalid tag-soup; jsoup will create a sensible parse tree.

jsoup is an open source project distributed under the liberal MIT license. Source code is available at GitHub.

As of this initial launch, jsoup is immediately useful, and it is in use in several internal projects. But of course it can be made more useful: so please, send me your suggestions and thoughts; either to the project’s mailing list, or to me directly.

If you would like to contribute code that would also be welcomed.
