Read data from web page

Let us look at sample code for reading data from a given url

//
// Create an url object
URL url = new URL("http://www.someUrl.com");
//
// Open connection to the url
URLConnection conn= url.openConnection();
//
// Open input stream to read
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(
conn.getInputStream()));
//
// read the content
String inputLine = null;
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
//
// Do something with inputLine .
}
