CSS Parser in Java [closed]

Question

Is there anything like Jsoup but instead of parsing HTML, I need to parse CSS, is there a parser similar to that that will create a Document model of a CSS? That perhaps can be used to iterate to nodes?

What I need to do is to find and replace "url" in the CSS file. And with html this is quite easy with Jsoup. However I am not sure if this will be possible with CSS.

If there are no such parser exist what are the options?

Perhaps this might help you?

Answer 2

I just rolled out my own CSS Stream Parser for Java, available on github. What sets this parser apart includes:

• It is a stream parser, so the parser handler will receive notification of all new content immediately after each item has been parsed
• Full support for all currently-documented At-Rules
• Custom classes TokenSequence and Token simplify processes for handling selectors, etc.
• Easy to use and to understand
• Useful for validation or for more advanced applications
• Scalable: designed to be able to handle changes to CSS definitions.

For your problem, just use the basic parsing technique:

try
{
    //First get the input stream. For example, from a file
    InputStream is = new FileInputStream(new File("/path/to/my/CSS/main.css"));

    //Then parse        
    CSSParser parser = new CSSParser(is, new DefaultCSSHandler());
    parser.parse();
}
catch (Throwable t)
{
    t.printStackTrace();
}

but override some methods in DefaultCSSHandler to look for the identifier you need.
