A Browser implementation based on jsoup, a Java HTML parser library. JsoupBrowser provides powerful and efficient document querying, but it doesn't run JavaScript in the pages. As such, it is limited to working strictly with the HTML send in the page source.
Currently, JsoupBrowser does not keep separate cookie stores for different domains and paths. In each request all cookies set previously will be sent, regardless of the domain they were set on. If you do requests to different domains and do not want this behavior, use different JsoupBrowser instances.
As the documents parsed by JsoupBrowser instances are not changed after loading, Document and Element instances obtained from them are guaranteed to be immutable.
