Parsing HTML with jSoup

One of the most fulfilling feelings in development is knowing you have full control over your digital destiny. Depending on who you are, this can be determined in a number of ways. So, let's focus on you, the database developer.

For a database developer, the ability to do whatever you want with data in terms of moving, extracting, merging or modifying is critical.

Without the proper knowledge of what tools can help out in certain situations, you can end up spending FAR MORE TIME doing something crazy, like copy/paste, for hours and hours.

Well, let's stop being crazy and start being sane. This all starts with knowing what's out there!

In this video, I take a look at the uber powerful jSoup Java library. Now, before you start saying, "Oh Matt, I don't want to learn Java, I want to use FileMaker." Let me respond to your unstated response by telling you that you don't need to know Java - although I would love it if you'd learn a little.

Because, honestly, a little can get you QUITE A LOT! Which is the case in this particular technique and solution.

Take a peek at the video and if you're not entirely convinced that your subscription is well worth it then let me know in the comments!
