JxBrowser displays the content of various types, e.g. images, video, PDF etc, but in most cases you will display the HTML content of a web page. This guide shows how to access the content of a web page, get the currently selected text, find some text on a web page, save the web page as a file or a set of files, etc.
Accessing HTML
To get a string that represents HTML of loaded web page use Browser.getHTML() method. You must call this method only when web page is loaded completely. Otherwise you might receive incomplete HTML or empty string. The following code demonstrates how to wait until web page is loaded completely and get its HTML:
browser.addLoadListener(new LoadAdapter() {
@Override
public void onFinishLoadingFrame(FinishLoadingEvent event) {
if (event.isMainFrame()) {
System.out.println("HTML = " + event.getBrowser().getHTML());
}
}
});
Accessing Selection
To get selected HTML on the loaded web page use the Browser.getSelectedHTML() method as described in the example below:
String html = browser.getSelectedHTML();
Finding Text
JxBrowser API provides functionality that allows on the currently loaded web page:
- Finding specified text
- Highlighting all matches
- Selecting first match
To find specified text on the loaded web page use the Browser.findText() method. This method returns SearchResult instance that provides access to search results such as number of matches and index of selected match.
Browser performs search only through visible content on the loaded document. If some text presented on the web page isn’t visible due to CSS rules, Browser will not go through this content during search. Also, Browser doesn’t search text on the document with size 0x0, so make sure that Browser component is visible and its size isn’t empty.

/**

*/
public class FindTextSample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
final Browser browser = new Browser();
BrowserView browserView = new BrowserView(browser);
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.add(browserView, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.setSize(700, 500);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
browser.addLoadListener(new LoadAdapter() {
@Override
public void onFinishLoadingFrame(FinishLoadingEvent event) {
if (event.isMainFrame()) {
SearchParams request = new SearchParams("find me");
// Find text from the beginning of the loaded web page.
SearchResult result = browser.findText(request);
System.out.println(result.indexOfSelectedMatch() + "/" +
result.getNumberOfMatches());
// Find the same text again from the currently selected match.
result = browser.findText(request);
System.out.println(result.indexOfSelectedMatch() + "/" +
result.getNumberOfMatches());
}
}
});
browser.loadHTML("<html><body><p>Find me</p><p>Find me</p></body></html>");
}
}
Canceling Search
To clear highlights on a web page (search results) and cancel search use Browser.stopFindingText(StopFindAction action) method.
Saving Web Page to File
The library allows you to save web pages as a file or set of files. You can use Browser.saveWebPage(String filePath, String dirPath, SavePageType saveType) method to save the current web page. Before saving make sure the page is loaded completely.
String filePath = "C:\\SavedPages\\index.html";
String dirPath = "C:\\SavedPages\\resources";
browser.saveWebPage(filePath, dirPath, SavePageType.COMPLETE_HTML);
Saving Web Page to PNG
To take an image of the currently loaded web page you need to perform the steps below:
- Create Browser instance.
- Set the required
Browserview size. - Load the required web page or HTML and wait until it is loaded completely.
- Get
java.awt.Imageof the loaded web page.
Functionality that allows capturing image of loaded web page is available for Browser instance in the LIGHTWEIGHT rendering mode only. When the HEAVYWEIGHT rendering mode is used, web page’s content is rendered via GPU directly onto a native window/surface embedded and displayed in Java Swing/JavaFX container.
The example below demonstrates how to perform all these steps:

Calculating Page Size
If you need to take screenshot of the whole web page including scrollable hidden parts and you don’t know dimension of the web page, then you need to calculate it using the following approach:
JSValue documentHeight = browser.executeJavaScriptAndReturnValue(
"Math.max(document.body.scrollHeight, " +
"document.documentElement.scrollHeight, document.body.offsetHeight, " +
"document.documentElement.offsetHeight, document.body.clientHeight, " +
"document.documentElement.clientHeight);");
JSValue documentWidth = browser.executeJavaScriptAndReturnValue(
"Math.max(document.body.scrollWidth, " +
"document.documentElement.scrollWidth, document.body.offsetWidth, " +
"document.documentElement.offsetWidth, document.body.clientWidth, " +
"document.documentElement.clientWidth);");
final int scrollBarSize = 25;
int viewWidth = documentWidth.asNumber().getInteger() + scrollBarSize;
int viewHeight = documentHeight.asNumber().getInteger() + scrollBarSize;
In this code we use JavaScript and DOM API to get dimension of the loaded document.
WebStorage
HTML5 supports Web Storage API that allows browsers to store key/value pairs, in a much more better way than using cookies. Web Storage API provides two mechanisms of storing data locally:
window.localStoragestores data with no expiration date.window.sessionStoragestores data for one session (data is lost when the browser tab is closed).
JxBrowser provides API that allows working with both Local and Session storages. See the following methods:
Browser.getLocalWebStorage()returns the local web storage instance.Browser.getSessionWebStorage()returns the session web storage instance.
Local and Session storages implement same WebStorage interface that provides methods for working with storage.
The Browser.getLocalWebStorage() method returns null if JavaScript hasn’t accessed the localStorage variable. The reason is that there’s a lazy initialization of the local storage in Chromium engine. You need access the localStorage variable in JavaScript to initialize local storage. After that you can access it via JxBrowser Web Storage API. It’s a limitation in the current implementation. The following code snippet demonstrates how to workaround this limitation:
browser.addLoadListener(new LoadAdapter() {
@Override
public void onDocumentLoadedInMainFrame(LoadEvent event) {
Browser browser = event.getBrowser();
// Initialize WebStorage
browser.executeJavaScript("localStorage");
// Access WebStorage
WebStorage webStorage = browser.getLocalWebStorage();
// Read and display the 'myKey' storage value.
String itemValue = webStorage.getItem("myKey");
}
});
