Strongly typed HTML generation library for Java.
html-gen helps you create HTML code snippets using Java objects. It is useful in situations where
using templating engines may be an overkill. Support all HTML5 elements as listed by Mozilla
Developer Network at https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/HTML5/HTML5_element_list
html-gen is an extremely lightweight and independent library - no external dependencies. JDK 1.6+ compatible.
Generating a complete HTML file:
// create new HTML object
Html html = new Html().docType(DocType.HTML5);
// write values to head
html.head()
.title("Sample title page").meta("charset", "utf8")
.meta("charset", "utf8")
.meta("another meta tag", "some value");
// generate the body
html.body().div().addClass("bold").text("Sample Heading");
// Build HTML
System.out.println(html.asString());This will generate the HTML output as
Html html = new Html();
html.body().table()
.thead()
.tr().th("head1").th("head2").th("head3")
.parentTable().tbody()
.tr().td("1").td("2").td("3")
.newRow().td("a").td("b").td("c");
System.out.println(html.asString());generating HTML code as:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>
head1
</th>
<th>
head2
</th>
<th>
head3
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
1
</td>
<td>
2
</td>
<td>
3
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
a
</td>
<td>
b

<td>
c
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>

- Iniital support for all HTML elements
The library can be downloaded from Maven Central using:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sangupta</groupId>
<artifactId>html-gen</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>For transparency and insight into our release cycle, and for striving to maintain backward compatibility,
html-gen will be maintained under the Semantic Versioning guidelines as much as possible.
Releases will be numbered with the follow format:
<major>.<minor>.<patch>
And constructed with the following guidelines:
- Breaking backward compatibility bumps the major
- New additions without breaking backward compatibility bumps the minor
- Bug fixes and misc changes bump the patch
