Java Mozilla HTML Parser 1.0.1 Updated By Sun

Filed in archive Application Development on January 30, 2007

Java Mozilla html Parser 1.0.1 has seen an updation. Developed as a part of Dapper, it is a package which allows parsing HTML pages into a Java Document object. Wrapped around Mozilla's HTML parser, it gives the user a browser quality HTML parser.

A problem which is generally faced is with regard to performance as parser serializes the requests. As of now the parser runs at a separate thread which receives request, parses them and gives the response to the requester. All this occurs as a Mozilla's way of keeping its object thread safe. As a result you end up using proxied objects rather than real objects.
