How to pretty print HTML using Java Code

In order to pretty-print HTML code using Java code, we can make use of the jsoup library.

Maven Dependency (add in pom.xml):

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jsoup</groupId>
    <artifactId>jsoup</artifactId>
    <version>1.16.1</version>
</dependency>

Gradle Dependency (add in build.gradle):

implementation group: 'org.jsoup', name: 'jsoup', version: '1.16.1'

Now, let's take a look at a code example.

import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Document;

public class JavaHTMLPrettyPrint {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String html = "<html><head><title>Code2care Examples</title></head><body><h1>Welcome to Code2care</h1></body></html>";
        Document document = Jsoup.parse(html);
        document.outputSettings().indentAmount(4).prettyPrint(true);
        String prettyHtml = doc.html();
        System.out.println(prettyHtml);
    }
}
