Method

StringgetContent(Element e)
Return the content of the given element. 
String content = null;
if (e != null) {
    Text t = findText(e, false);
    if (t != null) {
        StringBuilder b = new StringBuilder();
        while (t != null) {
            b.append(t.getData());
            Node n = t.getNextSibling();
...
StringgetContent(Element element)
This method will return the content of this particular element. 
StringBuffer paramValue = new StringBuffer();
NodeList childNodes = element.getChildNodes();
for (int j = 0; j < childNodes.getLength(); j++) {
    Node currentNode = childNodes.item(j);
    if (currentNode != null && currentNode.getNodeType() == Node.TEXT_NODE) {
        String val = currentNode.getNodeValue();
        if (val != null) {
            paramValue.append(val.trim());
...
ObjectgetContent(Element element)
get Content 
NodeList nl = element.getChildNodes();
StringBuilder content = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < nl.getLength(); i++) {
    Node node = nl.item(i);
    switch (node.getNodeType()) {
    case Node.ELEMENT_NODE:
        return node;

StringgetContent(Element element)

This method will return the content of this particular element.

for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) {
    elementContent = nodes.item(i).getTextContent();
return elementContent;
StringgetContentText(Element element)
get Content Text 
return element.getTextContent();
StringgetContentText(Element elementNode)
get Content Text 
StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();

StringgetElementText(Element elem)
Get the concatenated value of all Text nodes that are immediate children of the given Element. 
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
NodeList nodeList = elem.getChildNodes();
for (int index = 0; index < nodeList.getLength(); index++) {
    Node childNode = nodeList.item(index);
    if (childNode != null && (childNode instanceof Text)) {
        result.append(" ");
        result.append(((Text) childNode).getData());
return result.toString().trim();
StringgetElementText(Element elem, boolean mandatory)
getChildText purpose. 
String value = null;
