How to get the value using getElementsByTagName

Question

How to get the value of the tag name using getElementsByTagName. My Xml file is

name
....
....



        

Answer 1

doc.getElementsByTagName("method") returns a NodeList.

You want the first one of these, so you should use doc.getElementsByTagName("method").item(0) - which returns a Node.

From this, you probably want the value; doc.getElementsByTagName("method").item(0).getTextContent() should get you that.
