Method

booleanhasChildElements(Node node)
Test whether the input element has a child element. 
boolean result = false;
if (node != null) {
    NodeList children = node.getChildNodes();
    if (children != null) {
        for (int i = 0; i < children.getLength(); i++) {
            Node child = children.item(i);
            if (child.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
                result = true;
...
booleanhasChildElements(Node node)
Checks if a Node has a valid element 
NodeList nodelist = node.getChildNodes();
for (int i = 0; i < nodelist.getLength(); i++) {
    Node childNode = nodelist.item(i);
    if (childNode.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
        return true;
return false;
...
booleanhasChildElementWithAttribute(Element element, String attributeName, String attributeValue)
Looks for a childelement with an attribute with the given name and value 
if (element == null) {
    return false;
for (int i = 0; i < element.getChildNodes().getLength(); i++) {
    Node child = element.getChildNodes().item(i);
    if ((child.getAttributes().getNamedItem(attributeName) != null)
            && child.getAttributes().getNamedItem(attributeName).getNodeValue().equals(attributeValue)) {
        return true;
...
booleanhasChildNode(Element root, String childNodeName)
has Child Node 
NodeList nl = root.getElementsByTagName(childNodeName);
return (nl.getLength() > 0);
booleanhasChildNode(Node parentNode, String nodeName)
Determine if the parent node contains a child node with matching name 
return getChildNode(parentNode, nodeName, null) != null ? true : false;
booleanhasChildNodeByName(Node element, CharSequence nodeName, boolean caseSensitive)
Indicates if the passed node has a child node of the passed name 
if (element == null)
    return false;
if (nodeName == null)
    return false;
final String name = nodeName.toString().trim();
if (name.isEmpty())
    return false;
NodeList list = element.getChildNodes();
...
booleanhasChildNodes(Element element, String name)

if (parent == null)
    return false;
for (Node c = parent.getFirstChild(); c != null; c = c.getNextSibling()) {
    if (isA(c, ns, name))
        return true;
return false;
booleanhasChildOfType(final Element e, final String name)
has Child Of Type
