Functions

createContentHandler	`open static fun createContentHandler(node: Node): ContentHandler` Returns a SAX `ContentHandler` that transforms callback calls to DOM `Node`s.
getChildElementByTagName	`open static fun getChildElementByTagName(ele: Element, childEleName: String): Element` Utility method that returns the first child element identified by its name.
getChildElementValueByTagName	`open static fun getChildElementValueByTagName(ele: Element, childEleName: String): String` Utility method that returns the first child element value identified by its name.
getChildElements	`open static fun getChildElements(ele: Element): MutableList<Element>` Retrieves all child elements of the given DOM element
getChildElementsByTagName	`open static fun getChildElementsByTagName(ele: Element, vararg childEleNames: String): MutableList<Element>` Retrieves all child elements of the given DOM element that match any of the given element names. Only looks at the direct child level of the given element; do not go into further depth (in contrast to the DOM API's `getElementsByTagName` method). `open static fun getChildElementsByTagName(ele: Element, childEleName: String): MutableList<Element>` Retrieves all child elements of the given DOM element that match the given element name. Only look at the direct child level of the given element; do not go into further depth (in contrast to the DOM API's `getElementsByTagName` method).
getTextValue	`open static fun getTextValue(valueEle: Element): String` Extracts the text value from the given DOM element, ignoring XML comments. Appends all CharacterData nodes and EntityReference nodes into a single String value, excluding Comment nodes. Only exposes actual user-specified text, no default values of any kind.
nodeNameEquals	`open static fun nodeNameEquals(node: Node, desiredName: String): Boolean` Namespace-aware equals comparison. Returns `true` if either `Node#getLocalName` or `Node#getNodeName` equals `desiredName`, otherwise returns `false`.
