How to get html content using CyberNeko?

Question

def page = new XmlSlurper(new SAXParser()).parse(url)
println  page.body[0]

I want output

 <body>
   <h1>Header</h1>
 </body>

where my html is:

   <html>
       <head>
           <title>Title</title>
       </head>
       <body>
             <h1>Header</h1>
       </body>
   </html>

But my output is

Header

How to tell xmlSluper to take the code, not the content?

Not at a computer, so this is a guess `println XmlUtil.serialise( page.body[0])` — tim_yates, Mar 28 '14 at 13:55
Correct `XmlUtil.serialize( page.body[0] )`. `.serialize()` with a `z`..... [*We all live in Americaaa*](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFVdvXGIT34).... :P @tim_yates — dmahapatro, Mar 28 '14 at 14:07
OK. That works, but can we use some of XmlSluper methods, instead of this *util* method. Just ask. Yours answers are good for me. — Xelian, Mar 28 '14 at 14:49
@Xelian Unfortunatley not, `XmlSlurper` doesn't handle serialization, you need to use `XmlUtil` methods or something like `StreamingMarkupBuilder` — tim_yates, Mar 31 '14 at 12:04

To serialize data, you need to use some sort of serializer such as XmlUtil.serialize or StreamingMarkupBuilder, ie:

println XmlUtil.serialize( page.body[0] )

or:

new groovy.xml.StreamingMarkupBuilder().bind { mkp.yield page.body }.toString()
