Reading a webpage in Java
A trivial piece of example code demonstrating how to get a BufferedReader from a Url as a String and do something with it. This code simply prints the contents of the website at the first argument to stdout.
import java.io.*; import java.net.URL; public class WebsiteReader { public static BufferedReader read(String url) throws Exception{ return new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( new URL(url).openStream()));} public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception{ BufferedReader reader = read(args[0]); String line = reader.readLine(); while (line != null) { System.out.println(line); line = reader.readLine(); }} }
