Element root = doc.getDocumentElement():- allows direct access to the root of the DOM Document.

Node node = root.getFirstChild().getFirstChild():-Direct access to the subchild of the root

Text text = (Text) node.getFirstChild():-creating a text node and storing the child of node created above in it.

text.getData():-Retrives the data from the text node.

text.setData("Girish Tewari"):-Modify the text by Replacement
