Question

I have this XML file I need to extract the HTML Code from “mono” element but I need the html tags. I need to use groovy programming language.

All the divs inside “mono” element are HTML Tags including the divs

thank you in advance.

<dataset>
    <chapters>
        <chapter id="700" name="Immunology">
            <title>Immunology</title>   
            <monos>
                <mono id="382727">

                    <div>
                        <h1>blah blah</h1>
                    </div>
                    <div>
                        <p>blah blah</p>
                    </div>

            </mono>
            </monos>
        </chapter>  
        <chapter id="701" name="hematology">
            <title>Inmuno Hematology</title>    
            <monos>
                <mono id="blah blah">
                    <div>
                        <h1>blah blah</h1>
                    </div>
                    <div>
                        <div class="class1">blah blah</div>
                    </div>
                </mono>
            </monos>
        </chapter>
    </chapters>
</dataset>

I have tried :

import javax.xml.parsers.*;

xml = new XmlParser().parse("languages.xml")

println("There are " +xml.chapters.chapter.size() +" Chapters")

for (int i = 0; i < xml.chapters.chapter.size(); i++) {

            def chapter = xml.chapters.chapter[i]
            def chapterName = chapter.'@name'
            println chapterName

            println("----  Monos List ----\n\n")


            for (int j = 0; j < chapter.monos.mono.size(); j++) {

                        def mono = chapter.monos.mono[j]
                        println("Mono Content: " + mono.toString());
            }

           println("---- End Monos List ----\n\n")

}

But I just get the following ouput:

There are 2 Chapters
Immunology
—- Monos List —-

Mono Content: mono[attributes={id=382727}; value=[div[attributes={}; value=[h1[attributes={}; value=[blah blah]]]], div[attributes={}; value=[p[attributes={}; value=[blah blah]]]]]]
—- End Monos List —-

hematology
—- Monos List —-

Mono Content: mono[attributes={id=blah blah}; value=[div[attributes={}; value=[h1[attributes={}; value=[blah blah]]]], div[attributes={}; value=[div[attributes={class=class1}; value=[blah blah]]]]]]
—- End Monos List —-
