Node Types

A node type can be obtained with getNodeType() call, and it is one of the following:

TEXT_NODE

COMMENT_NODE

DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT_NODE

DOCUMENT_NODE

DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE

ENTITY_NODE

Node's Text Content

To get the text a node contains, you need to look through the list of child nodes, ignoring entries that are of no concern and accumulating the text you find in TEXT nodes, CDATA nodes, and EntityRef nodes.
