Question

Node.getTextContent() returns the text content of the current node and its descendants.

is there a way to get text content of the current node, not the descendant\'s tex

Answer 1

I do this with Java 8 streams and a helper class:

import java.util.*;
import org.w3c.dom.Node;
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;

public class NodeLists
{
    /** converts a NodeList to java.util.List of Node */
    static List list(NodeList nodeList)
    {
        List list = new ArrayList<>();
        for(int i=0;i

And then

 NodeLists.list(node)
.stream()
.filter(node->node.getNodeType()==Node.TEXT_NODE)
 .map(Node::getTextContent)
 .reduce("",(s,t)->s+t);
