Remove HTML tags from a String

Question

Is there a good way to remove HTML from a Java string? A simple regex like

replaceAll("\\\\<.*?>", &quo         


        

Answer 1

Sometimes the html string come from xml with such <. When using Jsoup we need parse it and then clean it.

Document doc = Jsoup.parse(htmlstrl);
Whitelist wl = Whitelist.none();
String plain = Jsoup.clean(doc.text(), wl);

While only using Jsoup.parse(htmlstrl).text() can't remove tags.
