Is there an easy way to exclude the current element from selectors?

[midgleyc]

As mentioned in the docs, selectors may match the current element or any of its children. Is there a simple (or recommended) way to only match children? At the moment I'm filtering out the current element if it was matched

node.getElementsByTag("table").stream().filter(x -> x != node).toList();

Hi,

There are a few ways to do this. The cleanest syntax might be to select on the element's children():

String html = "<div id=1>Outer <div id=2>One</div><div id=3>Two</div></div>";
Document doc = Jsoup.parse(html);
Element el = doc.expectFirst("div");
Elements inner = el.children().select("div");

Or, modify the selector to only match the children directly:

Elements inner = doc.select("div div");

Thanks, I don't necessarily know what the higher node is (in the code, only that I don't want to select it), but children().select is perfect.
