?how to remove a element while merging?

[aishwaryaanand]

I'm trying to combine various xmls into single xml piece , while doing so I want to exclude certain elements
ex:

<root>
<mono>
......
...
</mono>
<view>
</view>
<mono>
</mono>
</root>

I just want the monos
result:

<mono>
</mono>
<mono>
</mono>

I cannot go in each xml and set combine.self= remove for the element view. how to achieve this?

Although there is a filtering capability currently (see: https://github.com/atteo/xml-combiner#filtering) it does not allow to completely remove the elements. It only allows to modify them.

But I suggest to take the resulting Document from XmlCombiner.buildDocument() call, iterate through the XML elements and remove the unnecessary nodes manually based on their tag name. Does not sound that difficult.
