Bridging the Gap: HtmlUnit-jsoup Integration

As HtmlUnit continues to evolve as Java library for web automation and testing, we’re constantly looking for ways to enhance the developer experience and expand the possibilities for our users. Today, we’re excited to showcase htmlunit-jsoup, a bridge library that opens up the entire jsoup ecosystem to HtmlUnit developers.

The jsoup Ecosystem Advantage

While HtmlUnit provides browser simulation capabilities, the jsoup ecosystem offers something equally valuable: a vast collection of tools, utilities, and extensions built around jsoup’s elegant parsing API. This includes:

Third-party Extensions: Hundreds of libraries built on jsoup’s foundation
Community Tools: Specialized parsers, validators, and content extractors
Educational Resources: Extensive tutorials and examples using jsoup’s syntax
Developer Familiarity: Many developers already know jsoup’s jQuery-like API
