I am making a new browser and I need to get the DOM of a webpage to do it. How do I do this?

  • `HTML (text markup) -> "HTML Parser" -> DOM (structure/API)`. However, you'll likely need more than "the DOM" for anything not absolutely trivial .. consider integration with (e.g. using) existing browser engines. –  Dec 16 '12 at 20:08

  • If you've ever heard of google gravity this browser is meant to create a whole browser just like that. – Octavia Togami Dec 16 '12 at 23:33

You will have to write an HTML parser or use an existing one such as http://jsoup.org/
