Java html parser that wont change tags
I am currently using Jsoup parser to take in some HTML and then change some titles for specific tags. The problem is that my html seems to be altered when it is put through the jsoup parser for some reason. Is there a way to tell jsoup to not append any html.body tags, or to not add missing tags?
It seems to be altering my tables.
Orig
<div class="mstrPanelPortrait">
<table cellpadding="0" class="pane" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>
<table class="pane" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td class="mstrPanelBody" sty="body">
<div>
<div class="mstrBrowser">
After put through jsoup
<div class="mstrPanelPortrait" title="darrensTest">
<table cellpadding="0" class="pane" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<table class="pane" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="mstrPanelBody" sty="body">
You can see tbody was added in a few places. Not sure why

As far as I know, there is no way to tell Jsoup to not balance tags.
What you can use instead is the non-default XML parser that wont add any new tags (such as tbody), but only balance the tags that are not already balanced.
So, is it okay if Jsoup doesn't add any tags, but instead only balances the HTML?
If the answer to that question is yes, then you should use the XML parser instead of the default HTML parser.
doc = Jsoup.parse(html, "", Parser.xmlParser());
This will parse the HTML but add closing tags, though not add tags that aren't already there, thus not changing the structure. You can then select from the document in a normal Jsoup fashion.

<table cellpadding="0" class="pane" cellspacing="0">

<table class="pane" cellspacing="0">

<td class="mstrPanelBody" sty="body">
<div>
<div class="mstrBrowser"></div>
</div></td>
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
