can anyone give me initial direction for web scraping in Kotlin?

There are a few options depending on which target you are aiming for. Off the top of my head, I know of Skrape{it} and jsoup for Kotlin/JVM.

Skrape{it}: https://github.com/skrapeit/skrape.it
jsoup: https://jsoup.org/

thank you

I will check them both out and try them for my usecase

@Matthew Gast I want to scrape shtml but those both seem to have problem with it. am getting malformed input errors

[Matthew Gast]

I believe jsoup has an option to treat the document as XML, which has more lax rules about allowed input. You can try searching for information about that.
