Remove xmlns attribute

Question

I have an xml

<XML>
   <Client xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" Version="2.34.00" ></Client>
</XML>

How to remove all the attributes in the Client tag in Java.

I used earlier

Element element = (Element) doc.getElementsByTagName("Client").item(0);
element.removeAttribute("Version");
element.removeAttribute("xmlns:xsi");

The Version attribute was removed from the Client tag. But xmlns:xsi attribute was NOT removed.

Does anybody faced any similar issue or know how to approach this problem.

1. The XML you have shared is invalid, since the client tag isn't closed. 2. Can you please share your complete code? — greenPadawan, Jan 18 '16 at 10:06
`xmlns:xsi` is not an attribute. It is a _namespace declaration_. If you would like to remove it, search for how to remove a namespace declaration. — Mathias Müller, Jan 18 '16 at 10:51

You should getOwnerDocument() for node "Client" and do renameNode(nodeClient,null,"Client"); NB: removeAttribute removes "xmlns:xsi", but namespace is stored in Node "Client" and can appear at Document to string regeneration moment.
