Answer 1

This is what I use

public static String attributeText(Node node, String namedItem) {
        String retValue = null;
        Node attribute = node.getAttributes().getNamedItem(namedItem);
        if (attribute != null) {
            retValue = attribute.getNodeValue();
        }
        return retValue;
    }

Answer 2

try

nElement.getTextContent().trim();
