public final class Config
extends java.lang.Object
All of the properties in this class are static, affecting all objects and threads. Multiple concurrent configurations are not possible.
Properties that relate to user agent
compatibility issues are stored in instances of the Config.CompatibilityMode
class.
This allows all of the properties in the compatibility mode to be set as a block by setting the static
CurrentCompatibilityMode
property to a different instance.

public static java.lang.String ColumnMultipleValueSeparator
FormFields.getColumnValues(Map)
method.
The situation where a single column has multiple values only arises if FormField.getUserValueCount()
>1
on the relevant form field, which usually indicates a poorly designed form.
The default value is ",
" (a comma, not including the quotes).
Must not be null
.
public static java.lang.String ColumnValueTrue
true
in the output of the FormFields.getColumnValues(Map)
method.
The default value is "true
" (without the quotes).
Must not be null
.
public static java.lang.String ColumnValueFalse
false
in the output of the FormFields.getColumnValues(Map)
method.
The default value is null
, which represents no output at all.
public static boolean ConvertNonBreakingSpaces
CharacterReference.decode(CharSequence)
and similar methods convert non-breaking space (
) character references to normal spaces.
The default value is true
.
When this property is set to false
, non-breaking space (
)
character references are decoded as non-breaking space characters (U+00A0) instead of being converted to normal spaces (U+0020).
The default behaviour of the library reflects the fact that non-breaking space character references are almost always used in HTML documents as a non-collapsing white space character. Converting them to the correct character code U+00A0, which is represented by a visible character in many older character sets, was confusing to most users who expected to see only normal spaces. The most common example of this is its visualisation as the character á in the MS-DOS CP437 character set.
The functionality of the following methods is affected:
CharacterReference.appendCharTo(Appendable)
CharacterReference.decode(CharSequence)
CharacterReference.decode(CharSequence, boolean insideAttributeValue)
CharacterReference.decodeCollapseWhiteSpace(CharSequence)
CharacterReference.reencode(CharSequence)
Attribute.getValue()
Attributes.getValue(String name)
Attributes.populateMap(Map, boolean convertNamesToLowerCase)
StartTag.getAttributeValue(String attributeName)
Element.getAttributeValue(String attributeName)
FormControl.getPredefinedValues()
OutputDocument.replace(Attributes, boolean convertNamesToLowerCase)
Renderer.getConvertNonBreakingSpaces()
TextExtractor.getConvertNonBreakingSpaces()
public static Config.CompatibilityMode CurrentCompatibilityMode
The default setting is Config.CompatibilityMode.IE
(MS Internet Explorer 6.0).
Must not be null
.
public static boolean IsApostropheEncoded
CharacterReference.encode(CharSequence)
method.
A value of false
means apostrophe
(U+0027) characters are not encoded.
The only time apostrophes need to be encoded is within an attribute value delimited by
single quotes (apostrophes), so in most cases ignoring apostrophes is perfectly safe and
enhances the readability of the source document.
Note that apostrophes are always encoded as a numeric character reference, never as the
character entity reference '
.
The default value is false
.
public static boolean IsHTMLEmptyElementTagRecognised
The major browsers do not recognise empty-element tags (those having the characters "/>" at the end of the start tag) if the element is defined by the HTML specification to have a required or an optional end tag. This is the case even in XHTML documents, which can cause a lot of confusion.
Setting this property to true
forces the parser to recognise all syntactical empty-element tags,
regardless of whether the element is defined by the HTML specification to have a required or optional end tag.
Use of this feature is however not recommended as it makes the parser behaviour inconsistent with that of most browsers.
The default value is false
.
StartTag.isEmptyElementTag()
public static LoggerProvider LoggerProvider
LoggerProvider
that is used to create the default Logger
object for each new Source
object.
The LoggerProvider
interface contains several predefined LoggerProvider
instances which this property can be set to,
mostly representing wrappers to common logging frameworks.
The default value is null
, which results in the auto-detection of the most appropriate logging mechanism according to the following algorithm:
org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder
is detected:
org.slf4j.impl.JDK14LoggerFactory
is detected, use LoggerProvider.JAVA
.
org.slf4j.impl.Log4jLoggerFactory
is detected, use LoggerProvider.LOG4J
.
org.slf4j.impl.JCLLoggerFactory
is NOT detected, use LoggerProvider.SLF4J
.
org.apache.commons.logging.Log
is detected:
Create an instance of it using the commons-loggingLogFactory
class.
- If the created
Log
is of typeorg.apache.commons.logging.impl.Jdk14Logger
, useLoggerProvider.JAVA
.- If the created
Log
is of typeorg.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger
, useLoggerProvider.LOG4J
.- otherwise, use
LoggerProvider.JCL
.
org.apache.log4j.Logger
is detected, use LoggerProvider.LOG4J
.
LoggerProvider.JAVA
.
Source.setLogger(Logger)
public static java.lang.String NewLine
The default value is the standard new line character sequence of the host platform, determined by System.getProperty("line.separator")
.
