This is an example of how to parse text from aURL. The URL Class is used to represent a Uniform Resource Locator, a pointer to a “resource” on the World Wide Web. Parsing text from a URL implies that you should:

• Create aURL object from the String representation. 
• UseopenStream() API method to open a connection to this URL and and get theInputStreamfor reading from that connection. 
• Create a newBufferedReader, using a newInputStreamReader with the URL input stream.
• Read the text, usingreadLine() API method of BufferedReader.

Let’s take a look at the code snippet that follows:  

package com.javacodegeeks.snippets.core;import java.io.BufferedReader;import java.io.IOException;import java.io.InputStreamReader;import java.net.MalformedURLException;import java.net.URL;public class ReadTextFromURL {public static void main(String[] args) {try {URL url = new URL("http://www.google.com:80/");// read text returned by server    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));        String line;    while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {    System.out.println(line);    }    in.close();    }catch (MalformedURLException e) {System.out.println("Malformed URL: " + e.getMessage());}catch (IOException e) {System.out.println("I/O Error: " + e.getMessage());}}}
