You can also you Tika AutoDetectParser to parse any type of files such as HTML. Here is a simple example of that:

    try {
        InputStream input = new FileInputStream(new File(path));
        ContentHandler textHandler = new BodyContentHandler();
        Metadata metadata = new Metadata();
        AutoDetectParser parser = new AutoDetectParser();
        ParseContext context = new ParseContext();
        parser.parse(input, textHandler, metadata, context);
        System.out.println("Title: " + metadata.get(metadata.TITLE));
        System.out.println("Body: " + textHandler.toString());
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (SAXException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (TikaException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
