How to extract text ONLY from html file using jsoup

Question

I used this code:

String innerHtml = Jsoup.parse(htmlCode,"ISO-8859-1").select("body").html();

But it only removes the <html> tags

All HTML tags inside the body will be displayed.

Try using .text() :

 Jsoup.parse(htmlCode,"ISO-8859-1").select("body").text();

Instead of .html() .

Use .text() instead of .html() to get the combined text of the element and all its children.
