Method

StringgetAttributeStringValue(Node htmlForm, String attributeName, String defaultValue)
get Attribute String Value 
Node item = htmlForm.getAttributes().getNamedItem(attributeName);
return item == null ? defaultValue : item.getNodeValue();
StringgetAttributeStringValue(String attribute, NamedNodeMap namedNodeMap)
get Attribute String Value 
Node node = namedNodeMap.getNamedItem(attribute);
if (node != null) {
    return node.getTextContent();
return null;
MapgetAttributesValues(final StartElement element)
get Attributes Values 
final Map<String, String> values = new HashMap<>(4);
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
final Iterator<Attribute> attributes = element.getAttributes();
while (attributes.hasNext()) {
    final Attribute attr = attributes.next();
    values.put(attr.getName().getLocalPart(), attr.getValue());
return values;
...
MapgetAttributeTable(Element element)
get Attribute Table 
NamedNodeMap attrs = element.getAttributes();
if (attrs == null) {
    return Collections.emptyMap();
int numAttrs = attrs.getLength();
Map<String, String> attributeTable = new HashMap<String, String>(numAttrs);
for (int i = 0; i < numAttrs; i++) {
    Node na = attrs.item(i);

StringgetAttributeText(final Node node, final String name)
get Attribute Text 
NamedNodeMap nnm = node.getAttributes();
if (nnm == null)
    return null;
Node attr = nnm.getNamedItem(name);
if (attr == null)
    return null;

StringgetAttributeTextContent(Node node, String attiribute_name)
get Attribute Text Content 
Node attr = node.getAttributes().getNamedItem(attiribute_name);
if (attr != null) {
    return attr.getTextContent();
return "";
StringgetAttributeUri(Element leaf, Element parent, String defaultBaseUri)
Get uri of a leaf element which is an attribute of its parent. 
return hasNamespace(leaf) && parent != null ? getSchemaUri(leaf, defaultBaseUri)
        : getSchemaUri(parent, defaultBaseUri) + "." + leaf.getNodeName();
StringgetAttributeValue(@Nonnull final Element aElement, @Nonnull final String sAttrName)
The latest version of XercesJ 2.9 returns an empty string for non existing attributes. 
return getAttributeValue(aElement, sAttrName, null);
StringgetAttributeValue(Element e, String key)
This returns the attribute value for the attribute of the input element with the given name and within no namespace. 
String value = null;
NamedNodeMap map = e.getAttributes();
Node keyNode = map.getNamedItem(key);
if (keyNode != null) {
    value = keyNode.getNodeValue();
return value;
StringgetAttributeValue(Element e, String name)
Get an attribute value 
Node n = e.getAttributes().getNamedItem(name);
return (n != null) ? n.getNodeValue() : null;
