## Package javax.swing.text.html.parser Description

Provides the default HTML parser, along with support classes. As the stream is parsed, the parser notifies a delegate, which must implement the `HTMLEditorKit.ParserCallback` interface.

Note: Most of the Swing API is not thread safe. For details, see Threads and Swing, a section in The Java Tutorial.

Since:
  1.2
