JSoup has been added. However. the parsed content is not stored which means that definitions will have to reparse the content each time (slowing down definitions). An alternative would be to:

  1. Cache the jsoup document in HttpResponseData
  2. Replace the older HTML parsing library completely for jsoup

Two options are available for this:
  • Could add the ability to store items about the specimen in the specimen itself (like decorations)
  • Could use the ability provide in r1157 to store variables for the current URL evaluation (this would have to be done by convention, not something enforced by the scan engine)

Having all of the content pre-processed should not be be necessary.
