### Constructor Detail

#### Document

    public Document​(java.lang.String baseUri)

Create a new, empty Document.

Parameters:
  `baseUri` - base URI of document
See Also:
  `Jsoup.parse(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)`, `createShell(java.lang.String)`

### Method Detail

#### createShell

    public static Document createShell​(java.lang.String baseUri)

Create a valid, empty shell of a document, suitable for adding more elements to.

Parameters:
  `baseUri` - baseUri of document
Returns:
  document with html, head, and body elements.

#### location

    public java.lang.String location()

Get the URL this Document was parsed from. If the starting URL is a redirect, this will return the final URL from which the document was served from.

Will return an empty string if the location is unknown (e.g. if parsed from a String).

Returns:
  location

#### connection

    public Connection connection()

Returns the Connection (Request/Response) object that was used to fetch this document, if any; otherwise, a new default Connection object. This can be used to continue a session, preserving settings and cookies, etc.

Returns:
  the Connection (session) associated with this Document, or an empty one otherwise.
See Also:
  `Connection.newRequest()`

#### documentType

    @Nullable
    public DocumentType documentType()

Returns this Document's doctype.

Returns:
  document type, or null if not set

#### head

    public Element head()

Get this document's `head` element.

As a side-effect, if this Document does not already have a HTML structure, it will be created. If you do not want that, use `#selectFirst("head")` instead.

Returns:
  `head` element.

#### body

    public Element body()

Get this document's `<body>` or `<frameset>` element.

As a side-effect, if this Document does not already have a HTML structure, it will be created with a `<body>` element. If you do not want that, use `#selectFirst("body")` instead.

Returns:
  `body` element for documents with a `<body>`, a new `<body>` element if the document had no contents, or the outermost `<frameset> element` for frameset documents.

#### title

    public java.lang.String title()

Get the string contents of the document's `title` element.

Returns:
  Trimmed title, or empty string if none set.

#### title

    public void title​(java.lang.String title)

Set the document's `title` element. Updates the existing element, or adds `title` to `head` if not present

Parameters:
  `title` - string to set as title

#### createElement

    public Element createElement​(java.lang.String tagName)

Create a new Element, with this document's base uri. Does not make the new element a child of this document.

Parameters:
  `tagName` - element tag name (e.g. `a`)
Returns:
  new element

#### normalise

    public Document normalise()

Normalise the document. This happens after the parse phase so generally does not need to be called. Moves any text content that is not in the body element into the body.

Returns:
  this document after normalisation

#### outerHtml

    public java.lang.String outerHtml()

Description copied from class: `Node`
Get the outer HTML of this node. For example, on a `p` element, may return `<p>Para</p>`.

Overrides:
  `outerHtml` in class `Node`
Returns:
  outer HTML
See Also:
  `Element.html()`, `Element.text()`

#### text

    public Element text​(java.lang.String text)

Set the text of the `body` of this document. Any existing nodes within the body will be cleared.

Overrides:
  `text` in class `Element`
Parameters:
  `text` - unencoded text
Returns:
  this document

#### nodeName

    public java.lang.String nodeName()

Description copied from class: `Node`
Get the node name of this node. Use for debugging purposes and not logic switching (for that, use instanceof).

Overrides:
  `nodeName` in class `Element`
Returns:
  node name

#### charset

    public void charset​(java.nio.charset.Charset charset)

Sets the charset used in this document. This method is equivalent to `OutputSettings.charset(Charset)` but in addition it updates the charset / encoding element within the document.

This enables `meta charset update`.

If there's no element with charset / encoding information yet it will be created. Obsolete charset / encoding definitions are removed!

Elements used:

- Html: <meta charset="CHARSET">
- Xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="CHARSET">

Parameters:
  `charset` - Charset
See Also:
  `updateMetaCharsetElement(boolean)`, `Document.OutputSettings.charset(java.nio.charset.Charset)`

#### charset

    public java.nio.charset.Charset charset()

Returns the charset used in this document. This method is equivalent to `Document.OutputSettings.charset()`.

Returns:
  Current Charset
See Also:
  `Document.OutputSettings.charset()`

#### updateMetaCharsetElement

    public void updateMetaCharsetElement​(boolean update)

Sets whether the element with charset information in this document is updated on changes through `Document.charset(Charset)` or not.

If set to `false` (default) there are no elements modified.

Parameters:
  `update` - If `true` the element updated on charset changes, `false` if not
See Also:
  `charset(java.nio.charset.Charset)`

#### updateMetaCharsetElement

    public boolean updateMetaCharsetElement()

Returns whether the element with charset information in this document is updated on changes through `Document.charset(Charset)` or not.

Returns:
  Returns `true` if the element is updated on charset changes, `false` if not

#### clone

    public Document clone()

Description copied from class: `Node`
Create a stand-alone, deep copy of this node, and all of its children. The cloned node will have no siblings or parent node. As a stand-alone object, any changes made to the clone or any of its children will not impact the original node.

The cloned node may be adopted into another Document or node structure using `Element.appendChild(Node)`.

Overrides:
  `clone` in class `Element`
Returns:
  a stand-alone cloned node, including clones of any children
See Also:
  `Node.shallowClone()`

#### outputSettings

    public Document.OutputSettings outputSettings()

Get the document's current output settings.

Returns:
  the document's current output settings.

#### outputSettings

    public Document outputSettings​(Document.OutputSettings outputSettings)

Set the document's output settings.

Parameters:
  `outputSettings` - new output settings.
Returns:
  this document, for chaining.

  `parser` - the configured parser to use when further parsing is required for this document.
Returns:
  this document, for chaining.

#### connection

    public Document connection​(Connection connection)

Parameters:
  `connection` - to set
Returns:
  this document, for chaining
Since:
  1.14.1
