Copy and Edit HTML in Memory

I'd like to read in a HTML file I've specified, and instead of editing and saving the file, I'd like to use a StringBuilder to modify that data and save it in memory so that I may save it elsewhere or do various tasks to it.

Assuming I want to edit a similarly formatted HTML file:

<html>
     <body>
          <p>Data</p>
          <p>More data</p>
     </body>
</html>

I'd like to be able to input information after the last set of data "More data", meaning I'd be looking to input between the </p> and </body> headers.

I've heard of many HTML parsers and API's such as HTML Agility Pack. Would any of those be a feasible option for doing as I would like to do?

Any suggestions are useful!

jsoup looks like it will do the job. However, if you just want to insert stuff before the closing body tag it might be a lot easier to do a simple regex to find the closing tag. You might even be able to just do:

htmlString.indexOf("</body>")

And add whatever you need before that.
