jsoup 1.17.1

jsoup 1.17.1 is out now with support for request-level authentication, attribute name & value source ranges, stream() iterable support, and a bunch of other improvements and bug fixes.

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this release!

Improvements

• Request-Level Authentication: Added support for request-level authentication in Jsoup.connect(), enabling authentication to proxies and servers. More.

• Elements DOM Mutators: In the Elements list, added direct support for Elements#set(int, Element), Elements#remove(int), Elements#remove(Object), Elements#clear(), Elements#removeAll(), Elements#retainAll(), Elements#removeIf(), Elements#replaceAll(). These methods update the original DOM, as well as the Elements list. More.

• Stream Interface: Introduced the NodeIterator class for efficient node tree traversal using the Iterator interface. Added Stream Element#stream() and Node#nodeStream() methods for fluent composable stream pipelines of node traversals. More.

• XML OutputSettings: Automatically sets the xhtml EscapeMode as default when changing the OutputSettings syntax to XML.

• is() Selector: Added the :is(selector list) pseudo-selector to find elements that match any selectors in the selector list. This enhances readability for large ORed selectors. More.

• JPMS Module Support: Repackaged the library with native JPMS module support. More.

• Source Position Fidelity: Improved fidelity of source positions when tracking is enabled. Implicitly created or closed elements are now trackable via Range.isImplicit(). More.

• Attribute Source Positions: Enabled source position for attribute names and values when source tracking is on. Attribute#sourceRange() provides the ranges. More.

• Virtual Threads: Enhanced performance under Java 21+ Virtual Threads by replacing the internal ConstrainableInputStream with ControllableInputStream. More.

• XML Mimetype Support: Extended XML mimetype support in Jsoup.connect() to include any XML mimetype. More.

Bug Fixes

• XML Data Nodes: Fixed a bug where HTML elements parsed as data nodes were not correctly emitted as CDATA nodes when outputting with XML syntax. More.

• Immediate Parent Selector: Corrected a bug where the Immediate Parent selector > could match elements above the root context element. More.

• Sub-Query Parsing: Resolved a bug where combinators following the , Or combinator in a sub-query were incorrectly skipped. More.

• Empty Doctype: Fixed a bug in W3CDom where the conversion would fail if the jsoup input document contained an empty doctype. The doctype is now discarded, and the conversion continues.

• SVG Elements Cleaning: Fixed incorrect nesting when cleaning a document containing SVG elements or other foreign elements with preserved-case names. More.

• Unknown Self-Closing Tags: Preserved the output style of unknown self-closing tags from the input when cleaning a document. More.

Build Improvements

• Local Test Proxy: Added a local test proxy implementation for proxy integration tests. More.

• HTTPS Request Tests: Added tests for HTTPS request support using a local self-signed certificate. Includes proxy tests. More.

Changes

• Response BodyStream: The InputStream returned in Connection.Response.bodyStream() is now a plain BufferedInputStream. More.
