How to use Java’s org w3c. dom. Get text from node_ TagName for node

In the interface's documentation, it declares that text nodes return "#text" as their name instead of the actual tag name But for what I'm doing, the tag name is necessary

// I'm using the following imports
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;

import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.NamedNodeMap;
import org.w3c.dom.Node;
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;
import org.xml.sax.EntityResolver;
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;


// In the .xml input file
<country>US</country>  // This is a "text node" .getTextContent()
                       // returns "US",I need "country" and .getNodeName() 
                       // only returns "#text"

How can I access tag names? This must be some kind of possibility, and I don't mind a hackish solution

thank you.

Solution

I think you misunderstood which nodes are involved This XML:

<country>US</country>

... contains two nodes:

>Country element > text node, the content is us

The element is not a text node, and the text node has no element name because it is not an element It is important to understand that these are different nodes I believe this is the root of all your confusion

If you are currently viewing a text node, you can use node getParentNode(). Getnodename() to get the element name Or from the element node, you can call gettextcontent()
