jsoup Java HTML Parser release 1.22.2

jsoup 1.22.2 is out now, with fixes and refinements across the library. It makes editing the DOM during traversal more predictable, refreshes the default HTML tag definitions with newer elements and better text boundaries, and improves reliability in parsing and HTTP transport. The release also fixes a number of edge cases in cleaning, stream parsing, XML doctype handling, and Android packaging.

jsoup is a Java library for working with real-world HTML and XML. It provides a very convenient API for extracting and manipulating data, using the best of HTML5 DOM methods and CSS selectors.

Improvements

• Expanded and clarified NodeTraversor support for in-place DOM rewrites during NodeVisitor.head(). Current-node edits such as remove, replace, and unwrap now recover more predictably, while traversal stays within the original root subtree. This makes single-pass tree cleanup and normalization visitors easier to write, for example when unwrapping presentational elements or replacing text nodes as you walk the DOM. #2472
• Documentation: clarified that a configured Cleaner may be reused across concurrent threads, and that shared Safelist instances should not be mutated while in use. #2473
• Updated the default HTML TagSet for current HTML elements: added dialog, search, picture, and slot; made ins, del, button, audio, video, and canvas inline by default (Tag#isInline(), aligned to phrasing content in the spec); and added readable Element.text() boundaries for controls and embedded objects via the new Tag.TextBoundary option. This improves pretty-printing and keeps normalized text from running adjacent words together. #2493

Bug Fixes

• Android (R8/ProGuard): added a rule to ignore the optional re2j dependency when not present. #2459
• Fixed a NodeTraversor regression in 1.21.2 where removing or replacing the current node during head() could revisit the replacement node and loop indefinitely. The traversal docs now also clarify which inserted nodes are visited in the current pass. #2472
• Parsing during charset sniffing no longer fails if an advisory available() call throws IOException, as seen on JDK 8 HttpURLConnection. #2474
• Cleaner no longer makes relative URL attributes in the input document absolute when cleaning or validating a Document. URL normalization now applies only to the cleaned output, and Safelist.isSafeAttribute() is side effect free. #2475
• Cleaner no longer duplicates enforced attributes when the input Document preserves attribute case. A case-variant source attribute is now replaced by the enforced attribute in the cleaned output. #2476
• If a per-request SOCKS proxy is configured, jsoup now avoids using the JDK HttpClient, because the JDK would silently ignore that proxy and attempt to connect directly. Those requests now fall back to the legacy HttpURLConnection transport instead, which does support SOCKS. #2468
• Connection.Response.streamParser() and DataUtil.streamParser(Path, ...) could fail on small inputs without a declared charset, if the initial 5 KB charset sniff fully consumed the input and closed it before the stream parse began. #2483
• In XML mode, doctypes with an internal subset, such as <!DOCTYPE root [<!ENTITY name "value">]>, now round-trip correctly. The subset is preserved as raw text only; entities are not expanded and external DTDs are not loaded. #2486

Build Changes

• Migrated the integration test server from Jetty to Netty, which actively maintains support for our minimum JDK target (8). #2491

jsoup Java HTML Parser release 1.22.1

jsoup 1.22.1 is out now, adding support for the re2j regular expression engine for regex-based CSS selectors, a configurable maximum parser depth, and numerous bug fixes and improvements.

jsoup is a Java library for working with real-world HTML and XML. It provides a very convenient API for extracting and manipulating data, using the best of HTML5 DOM methods and CSS selectors.

Improvements

• Added support for using the re2j regular expression engine for regex-based CSS selectors (e.g. [attr~=regex], :matches(regex)), which ensures linear-time performance for regex evaluation. This allows safer handling of arbitrary user-supplied query regexes. To enable, add the com.google.re2j dependency to your classpath, e.g.:

  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.re2j</groupId>
    <artifactId>re2j</artifactId>
    <version>1.8</version>
  </dependency>

(If you already have that dependency in your classpath, but you want to keep using the Java regex engine, you can disable re2j via System.setProperty("jsoup.useRe2j", "false").) You can confirm that the re2j engine has been enabled correctly by calling Regex.usingRe2j(). #2407

• Added an instance method Parser#unescape(String, boolean) that unescapes HTML entities using the parser's configuration (e.g. to support error tracking), complementing the existing static utility Parser.unescapeEntities(String, boolean). #2396
• Added a configurable maximum parser depth (to limit the number of open elements on stack) to both HTML and XML parsers. The HTML parser now defaults to a depth of 512 to match browser behavior, and protect against unbounded stack growth, while the XML parser keeps unlimited depth by default, but can opt into a limit via org.jsoup.parser.Parser#setMaxDepth. #2421
• Build: added CI coverage for JDK 25 #2403
• Build: added a CI fuzzer for contextual fragment parsing (in addition to existing full body HTML and XML fuzzers). [oss-fuzz #14041](google/oss-fuzz#14041)

Changes

• Set a removal schedule of jsoup 1.24.1 for previously deprecated APIs.

Bug Fixes

• Previously cached child Elements of an Element were not correctly invalidated in Node#replaceWith(Node), which could lead to incorrect results when subsequently calling Element#children(). #2391
• Attribute selector values are now compared literally without trimming. Previously, jsoup trimmed whitespace from selector values and from element attribute values, which could cause mismatches with browser behavior (e.g. [attr=" foo "]). Now matches align with the CSS specification and browser engines. #2380
• When using the JDK HttpClient, any system default proxy (ProxySelector.getDefault()) was ignored. Now, the system proxy is used if a per-request proxy is not set. #2388, #2390
• A ValidationException could be thrown in the adoption agency algorithm with particularly broken input. Now logged as a parse error. #2393
• Null characters in the HTML body were not consistently removed; and in foreign content were not correctly replaced. #2395
• An IndexOutOfBoundsException could be thrown when parsing a body fragment with crafted input. Now logged as a parse error. #2397, #2406
• When using StructuralEvaluators (e.g., a parent child selector) across many retained threads, their memoized results could also be retained, increasing memory use. These results are now cleared immediately after use, reducing overall memory consumption. #2411
• Cloning a Parser now preserves any custom TagSet applied to the parser. #2422, #2423
