Attr attribute = ownerElem.getAttributeNode(attrName);
return attribute != null ? attribute.getValue() : null;
StringgetAttribute(Element parent, String localName)
get Attribute 
if (parent == null) {
    return null;
Attr attribute = parent.getAttributeNode(localName);
if (attribute != null) {
    return attribute.getValue();
} else {
    return null;
...
StringgetAttribute(Element parent, String localName, String namespaceURI)
Returns the value of the named attribute of the current element. 
if (parent == null) {
    return null;
