Apps Website Content Extraction

I am currently planning on creating an app, to show my school schedule, and notes/homework,

the website with all the content is already there, i just need to extract certain things, and show them in an easy ui in the app

how,



thank you for your time :)
 
I am sure that most of the infomration is stored in some sort of database and that the website uses PHP or some other back end scripting language to fetch and alter this data. You could possible (depending on how the data is returned from the script) just access this script from your app to get the data. If that won't work, you will need to make your own script that retrieves the data you want and then returns it in a format that you are comfortable with (I usually use JSON).

Is it possible to use JSON to get content from html div tags? a.s.o. ?
