Getting Jsoup to support dynamically generated html by JavaScript

by

Jsoup does not support javascript and it does not emulate a browser. Just forget about it if you’re planning to execute Javascript. In my experience HtmlUnit, which is a headless browser, has given me the best results (always talking about Java frameworks).

One thing that worths trying in HtmlUnit is changing the BrowserVersion (Chrome / InternetEplorer / FireFox) while creating the WebClient instance. Some sites react in a different way and sometimes just changing that value might give you the results you expect to get.
