I would suggest Java as well. There are open source libraries that can
do the HTML parsing too e.g. Jsoup.
I just tested this example on z/OS, it worked (fetch the Wikipedia home
page and list items from the In the news section):
import java.io.IOException;
import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Document;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Element;
import org.jsoup.select.Elements;
public class JsoupTest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://en.wikipedia.org/";).get();
Elements newsHeadlines = doc.select("#mp-itn li");
for (Element e : newsHeadlines) {
System.out.println(e.text());
}
}
}
