StringattributeOrNull(Node node, String... attributes)
attribute Or Null 
for (int i = 0; i < attributes.length; i++) {
    String attribute = attributes[i];
    Node attr = node.getAttributes().getNamedItem(attribute);
    if (attr != null)

StringattributeOrValue(Element element, String mainAttribute, String... alternateAttributes)
Returns the value of one of the attributes, if none is present the text contents of the specified node.
