I am looking for an effective HTML to XHTML library in Java. I have tried HTML Tidy but it causes this error:

XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag. Expected: </meta>.

Do you recommend any better library?

I appreciate your help.

what do you mean by "accurate" results? html is not valid legal xml so making it into xml will obviously change it. have you tried tagsoup ? i've used it before to xml-ize html.

also, you might want to look at a few similar questions that have been asked here before

Sorry, i meant it gives me this error: XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag. Expected: </meta>.
+1 for tagsoupn which is exactly the answer to the question, even if the question is ambiguous...
sorry but i want to convert an HTML file not a web page is the "tagsoup" compatible with that ??
@mohammad - yes. just use the event stream you get from tagsoup to generate your own xhtml.
