Reading title and description of URL using jsoup

This is a sample program to read title and description of specified url.
Wh have used java html parser jsoup for this program.
for that you have to include jsoup-1.7.2.jar(used in this program).

First we have to connect to url using

Document doc Jsoup.connect(url).get();

To get title call title() that will return String value

String title=doc.title();

To select meta with description and attribute content we use following code

String description = doc.select(“meta[name=description]”).get(0).attr(“content”);

To select first description we use following snippet

Element meta = doc.select(“meta[name=description]”).first();

import java.io.IOException;

import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Document;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Element;
import org.jsoup.select.Elements;

public class jsop {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Document doc;
        try {

            // need http protocol
            doc = Jsoup.connect("http://yahoo.com").get();

            // get page title
            String title = doc.title();
            System.out.println("title : " + title);

            String description = doc.select("meta[name=description]").get(0).attr("content");
            System.out.println("Meta description 1 : " + description);
            //this will also fetch the description   
            Element meta = doc.select("meta[name=description]").first();
            System.out.println("Meta description 2 :"  +meta.attr("content"));

        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("error : " + e);
        }
    }
}

import java.io.IOException;

import org.jsoup.Jsoup;

import org.jsoup.nodes.Document;

import org.jsoup.nodes.Element;

import org.jsoup.select.Elements;

public class jsop {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Document doc;

try {

// need http protocol

doc = Jsoup.connect("http://yahoo.com").get();

// get page title

String title = doc.title();

System.out.println("title : " + title);

String description = doc.select("meta[name=description]").get(0).attr("content");

System.out.println("Meta description 1 : " + description);

//this will also fetch the description

Element meta = doc.select("meta[name=description]").first();

System.out.println("Meta description 2 :" +meta.attr("content"));

} catch (Exception e) {

System.out.println("error : " + e);

}
