I am trying to develop and application with jsoup and java to scrap some web pages. So what I am hoping to make is to let jsoup get the page source first and the on the page source let the below javascript get executed and return back a result.
$("body, body *").each(function(i, val) {
// do something and something more
});
I am planning to use ScriptEngineManager to execute javascript code from Java.
ScriptEngineManager manager = new ScriptEngineManager();
ScriptEngine engine = manager.getEngineByName("JavaScript");
My question is how can I make / is there a way that the JS script accept the Document(string) that jsoup returns and do select operation on it just like a regular page.
So what I am hoping to have is something like this:
// document is the Document object returned from the Jsoup or Document converted to string
var myfunction = function(document){
document.$("body, body *").each(function(i, val) {
// do something and something more
});
}

jQuery selector accepts a string of html, and you can utilize the context/scope to select only from that variable. So you can do something like this as an example (using the variable as context):
//a string of elements/html
var doc = '<html><body><ul><li>1</li><li>2</li><li>3</li></ul></body></html>';
$('li', doc).each(function() {
console.log(this); //iterates each 'li' within 'doc'
});
Or, in your case:
var myfunction = function(doc){
$("*", doc).each(function(i, val) {
// do something and something more
});
}
