Flying Saucer (also called XHTML renderer) is a pure Java library for rendering XML, XHTML, and CSS 2.1 content.

Flying Saucer (also known as xhtmlrenderer) takes XML or XHTML and applies CSS 2.1-compliant stylesheets to it, in order to render to PDF (via iText), images, and on-screen using Swing or SWT. The library implements (basically) the entirety of CSS 2.1 and aims to be fully compliant with the W3C specification; it includes a small handful of CSS 3 features.

Features:

  • 100% Java XML+CSS layout engine with native PDF, Swing, image rendering.
  • Strong support for the CSS 2.1 specification including extensions to better support paged media.
  • Good performance.
  • Support for XHTML including forms.
  • Arbitrary elements may be replaced with custom content.
  • Limited support for dynamic effects (for example, the :hover pseudo-class and links)
  • Some support for PDF specific features (for example, bookmarks and internal links).

Limitations:

  • Resource loading is single threaded and occurs inline with layout.
  • Support for XHTML is weaker than XML+CSS (for example, not all XHTML presentational attributes are supported nor are X/HTML features like the element).
  • No support for legacy HTML (although there are several open source Java HTML cleaners of varying quality available).
  • No support for incremental layout (applies to screen media only).
