Hi,

I have below XML structure
<Details>
<Detail>
<Name>A</Name>
<Age>11</Age>
</Detail>
<Detail>
<Name>B</Name>
<Age>12</Age>
</Detail>
</Details>

Structure may have many <Detail> elements.

Now I want to remove all <Detail> elements which falls under a specific criteria (for ex: Name value ='A' or Age>15 etc.

Do we have any API which allows me do this. Some thing like removeElement(document, XPath).

Moving to XML...

The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way. - Heraclitus

Hi Anirudha,

If you want to delete a node you should be at a parent level(parent node) to do it :

Ex:

if according to your condition "nd" is the node to be deleted then use the statement

nd.getParentNode().removeChild(nd);

Where nd is a "Node"
