A high-performance Java library for parsing and querying HTML, JSON, and XML documents with ultra-fast processing and minimal memory footprint.
- Multiple Document Formats: Support for HTML (Jsoup), JSON (JSONPath), and XML (XPath)
- Ultra-Fast Performance: Up to 200,000x faster document creation through lazy parsing
- Memory Efficient: 75-85% memory reduction for serialized documents
- Distributed Computing Ready: Full serialization support for Apache Spark and Apache Beam
- Advanced Caching: LRU cache for 36x faster repeated queries
- Flexible Configuration: Choose between LAZY, EAGER, or CACHED parsing strategies
- Streaming API: Memory-efficient document processing with Java Streams
| Metric | Baseline | Optimized | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Document creation | 20-200ms | <1µs | 200,000x faster |
| Memory (serialized) | 4-7x | 1.0x | 75-85% reduction |
| XML nodeList(100) | 5000ms | 2ms | 2500x faster |
| Sub-document access | 1-5ms | <1µs | 5000x faster |
| Repeated queries | 369ms | 10ms | 36x faster |

Document doc = new HtmlDocument("<html><body><h1>Title</h1></body></html>");
// Query single element
String title = doc.textNode("h1");
// Query multiple elements
List<CharSequence> links = doc.textNodeList("a");
// Stream processing
doc.nodeStream("div.item")
.map(item -> item.textNode(".title"))
.forEach(System.out::println);// Parse JSON
Document doc = new JsonDocument("{\"name\":\"John\",\"age\":30}");
// Query using JSONPath
String name = doc.textNode("$.name");
List<CharSequence> cities = doc.textNodeList("$.addresses[*].city");
// Nested documents
Document address = doc.node("$.addresses[0]");// Parse XML
Document doc = new XmlDocument("<root><item>Value</item></root>");
// Query using XPath
String value = doc.textNode("//item");

// Lazy parsing (default) - parse on first access
Document lazy = new HtmlDocument(html, DocumentConfig.DEFAULT);
// Eager parsing - parse immediately

.build();All document types are fully serializable and optimized for distributed frameworks:
// Works seamlessly with Apache Spark
JavaRDD<Document> documents = sc.parallelize(htmlStrings)
.map(HtmlDocument::new);
documents.map(doc -> doc.textNode("title"))
.collect();
// Apache Beam/Dataflow
PCollection<Document> docs = pipeline
.apply(Create.of(htmlStrings))
.apply(MapElements.into(TypeDescriptors.voids())
.via(html -> new HtmlDocument(html)));Sub-documents share the parent's parsed state for zero-overhead navigation:
HtmlDocument page = new HtmlDocument(html);
// Sub-document references parent's parsed DOM
Document article = page.node(".article");
String title = article.textNode("h1"); // <1µs access time
// Multiple sub-documents share same root
List<Document> items = page.nodeList(".item"); // No re-parsingAutomatic caching of frequently accessed paths:
Document doc = new HtmlDocument(html, DocumentConfig.CACHED);
// First access - executes query
String title = doc.textNode("h1"); // ~10ms
// Subsequent accesses - retrieved from cache
String cached = doc.textNode("h1"); // <1µs (36x faster)public interface Document extends Serializable {
String textNode(String path);

}- HtmlDocument: CSS selectors via Jsoup
- JsonDocument: JSONPath queries via JsonPath
- XmlDocument: XPath queries via javax.xml
- Lazy Parsing: Document parsing deferred until first query
- Transient Fields: Parsed representations excluded from serialization
- Shared State: Sub-documents reference parent's parsed data
- LRU Cache: Frequently accessed paths cached automatically
- ThreadLocal Caching: Thread-safe transformer reuse in XML processing
