HTMLEditorKit.Parser

• The HTML parsing class is the inner class javax.swing.html.HTMLEditorKit.Parser:

  public abstract static class HTMLEditorKit.Parser extends Object

• The concrete subclass is javax.swing.text.html.parser.ParserDelegator:

  public class ParserDelegator extends HTMLEditorKit.Parser

• ParserDelegator looks for five things in the document:

  • start tags

  • end tags

  • empty tags

  • text

  • comments

• Every time the parser sees one of these five items, it invokes the corresponding callback method in a particular instance of the javax.swing.text.html.HTMLEditorKit.ParserCallback class.
