Cobra is a pure DOM parser and Java HTML renderer that is being developed to support Javascript, HTML 4 and CSS 2.

Cobra can be used as a Javascript-aware and CSS-aware HTML DOM parser, independently of the Cobra rendering engine.

Javascript DOM modifications that occur during parsing (e.g. via document.write) will be reflected in the parsed DOM.

Likewise, DOM element implementations have a getStyle method that can be called to obtain the styling properties of an element.

Cobra supports incremental HTML rendering. This is particularly useful when there are external scripts that need to load before parsing completes.

Instead of parsing the whole document before passing it to HtmlPanel, you can create an empty one by calling createDocument instead. This will return an instance of HTMLDocumentImpl.

Next, you set the document in HtmlPanel by calling setDocument. Finally, you parse the document (which should be done outside the GUI dispatch thread) by calling HTMLDocumentImpl.load.
