Scala and HTML parsing

Question

How do you load an HTML DOM document into Scala? The XML singleton had errors when trying to load the xmlns tags.

import java.net._
import java.io._

Answer 1

I have just tried to use this answer with scala 2.8.1 and ended up using the work from:

http://www.hars.de/2009/01/html-as-xml-in-scala.html

The interesting bit that I needed was:

val parserFactory = new org.ccil.cowan.tagsoup.jaxp.SAXFactoryImpl
val parser = parserFactory.newSAXParser()
val source = new org.xml.sax.InputSource("http://www.scala-lang.org")
val adapter = new scala.xml.parsing.NoBindingFactoryAdapter
adapter.loadXML(source, parser)
