Problem

You want to find or manipulate elements using a CSS or jquery-like selector syntax.

Solution

Use the Element.select(String selector) and Elements.select(String selector) methods:

File input = new File("/tmp/input.html");
Document doc = Jsoup.parse(input, "UTF-8", "http://example.com/");

Elements links = doc.select("a[href]"); // a with href
Elements pngs = doc.select("img[src$=.png]");
  // img with src ending .png

Element masthead = doc.select("div.masthead").first();
  // div with class=masthead

Elements resultLinks = doc.select("h3.r > a"); // direct a after h3
