The Cobra toolkit is a pure Java HTML parser and rendering engine with support for CSS2 and JavaScript.

Cobra can be used as a JavaScript-aware and CSS-aware HTML parser, independently of the Cobra rendering engine. JavaScript DOM modifications that occur during parsing (e.g. via document.write) will be reflected in the parsed DOM, unless JavaScript is disabled.

  • Clean, high-level syntax
  • Static and dynamic binding
  • First class support for unit tests and contracts
  • Compiled performance with scripting conveniences

  • Automatic help flag recognition of -h, --help, etc.
  • Automatically generated bash autocomplete for your application
  • Automatically generated man pages for your application
