So I run the code below and it prints "!DOCTYPE html". How do I get the content of the url, like the html for instance?
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
URL u = new URL("https://www.whitehouse.gov/");
InputStream ins = u.openStream();
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(ins);
BufferedReader websiteText = new BufferedReader(isr);
System.out.println(websiteText.readLine());
}
According to java doc https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/networking/urls/readingURL.html: "When you run the program, you should see, scrolling by in your command window, the HTML commands and textual content from the HTML file located at ".... Why am I not getting that?
In your program, your did not put while loop.
URL u = new URL("https://www.whitehouse.gov/");
InputStream ins = u.openStream();
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(ins);
BufferedReader websiteText = new BufferedReader(isr);
String inputLine;
while ((inputLine = websiteText.readLine()) != null){
System.out.println(inputLine);
}
websiteText.close();
