Java Utililty Methods XML Node to Element

boolean isElement(final Node n)
is Element

return n instanceof Element;

boolean isElement(Node e)
is Element

return e.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE;

boolean isElement(Node node)
is Element

return node.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE;

boolean isElement(Node node)
Returns whether the specified node is an element

return node.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE;

boolean isElement(Node node)
Determines if the given Node is non-null and is an XML Element.

return node != null && node.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE;

boolean isElement(Node node)
Determines if the given Node is non-null and is an XML Element.

return (node != null && node.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE);

boolean isElement(Node node)
is Element

short nodeType = node.getNodeType();
if (Node.ELEMENT_NODE == nodeType || Node.DOCUMENT_NODE == nodeType) {
 return true;
return false;

boolean isElement(Node node, String name)
is Element

return node.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE && node.getNodeName().equals(name);

boolean isElementByTag(Node node, String tagName)
is Element By Tag

if (!(node instanceof Element))
 return false;
if (tagName == null)
 return true;
Element element = (Element) node;
String tag = element.getTagName();
return tag.equals(tagName) || getLocalName(tag).equals(getLocalName(tagName));

boolean isElementContent(Node node)
Checks whether the specified node has element content or consists only of character data.

if (node == null) {
 return false;
NodeList children = node.getChildNodes();
for (int i = 0; i < children.getLength(); i++) {
 Node child = children.item(i);
 if (child.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
 return true;
