Method

StringgetCDATA(Element elem)
get CDATA 
return getCDATA(elem, true);
StringgetCdata(Element elem)
Extracts the first CDATA child from the given org.w3c.dom.Element . 
NodeList nodes = elem.getChildNodes();
for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) {
    Node node = nodes.item(i);
    if (node.getNodeType() == Node.CDATA_SECTION_NODE) {
        CharacterData cdataNode = (CharacterData) node;
        return cdataNode.getData();
return null;
StringgetCData(Element element)
Extract the CDATA content of the specified element. 
CDATASection text = getCDataNode(element);
if (text != null)
    return text.getData().trim();
else
    return null;
CDATASectiongetCDataNode(Element element)
Returns element's CDATA child node (if it has one). 
return (CDATASection) getChildByType(element, Node.CDATA_SECTION_NODE);
StringgetCDataValue(Node node, String tag)
Returns the CDATA value of the subnode of specified node with the specified tag. 
String ret = null;
Node child = getChildNode(node, tag);
if (child != null) {
    NodeList grandchildren = child.getChildNodes();
    Node grandchild = grandchildren.item(0);
