Write HTML file using Java

Question

I want my Java application to write HTML code in a file. Right now, I am hard coding HTML tags using java.io.BufferedWriter class. For Example:

BufferedWrite         


        

Answer 1

I had also problems in finding something simple to satisfy my needs so I decided to write my own library (with MIT license). It's mainly based on composite and builder pattern.

A basic declarative example is:

import static com.github.manliogit.javatags.lang.HtmlHelper.*;

html5(attr("lang -> en"),
  head(
    meta(attr("http-equiv -> Content-Type", "content -> text/html; charset=UTF-8")),
    title("title"),
    link(attr("href -> xxx.css", "rel -> stylesheet"))
  )
).render();

A fluent example is:

ul()
  .add(li("item 1"))
  .add(li("item 2"))
  .add(li("item 3"))

I also created an on line converter to transform every html snippet (from complex bootstrap template to simple single snippet) on the fly (i.e. html -> javatags)
