Place all the required jars in your classpath. All of these can be found in the lib directory of the HtmlUnit installation (htmlunit-x.xx.x-bin.zip contains everything you need including all required dependencies).

Now, I download htmlunit 2.7 and unzipped the folder, which contains a "lib" folder with a bunch of jar files in it. Where do I put that lib folder in my netbeans project folder so that I can use htmlunit?
My application isn't the traditional one of web crawling and scraping to collate large amounts of user data. I only need to get web page content from a few specific websites. But the content has to be rendered just as it would be in a manual browser which I can then programmatically edit and save using the library to simulate browser events such as clicks.
Lit combines the component model of LitElement with JavaScript template literal-based rendering into an easy-to-use package. However, the templating portion of Lit is factored into a standalone library called lit-html, which can be used outside of the Lit component model anywhere you need to efficiently render and update HTML.
jsoup is a Java library that simplifies working with real-world HTML and XML. It offers an easy-to-use API for URL fetching, data parsing, extraction, and manipulation using DOM API methods, CSS, and xpath selectors.
HtmlUnit library, on the other hand, addresses the shortcomings of Jsoup but lacks its lightweight and easy-to-use nature. It provides a headless browser, which allows you to interact with web pages as if with a real browser, simulating a real user's behavior.
Based on our experience, we recommend using the Jsoup library for scraping simple pages and HtmlUnit if you need to use a headless browser. However, the best library for your needs will depend on your skills, specific goals, and requirements. To simplify the selection process, we have created a table that lists the conditions under which you should choose one library or the other.
The way to connect a library may vary depending on the build system you use. Gradle and Maven require describing the project and its dependencies in an XML file, while IntelliJ requires directly importing the library's JAR file through the IntelliJ IDEA interface.
As we mentioned earlier, HtmlUnit is a headless web browser library that provides a wide range of functionality for web scraping. To use it, you must download the library's JAR file and import the necessary modules into your project.
