Remove XML tag if it matches the content given in the xPath

[alwinjmjak]

What problem are you trying to solve?

I have a xml like below,

<arg1>value1</arg1>
<arg1>value2</arg1>

I want to remove arg1 tag only if the content matches value1. The current rewrite-xml receipe has RemoveXmlTag which removes only the specified tags from the xml and does not match the values.

Describe the solution you'd like

The xPath matcher should support matching the content.

Have you considered any alternatives or workarounds?

A simple workaround is to introduce a new variable, say 'valueMatcher' in RemoveXmlTag and match the tag content with it.

Additional context

Here is a list of xPath syntax which has an example of xPath which can also match the content of the xml tag.

Are you interested in contributing this feature to OpenRewrite?

Yes. I will work on the solution and send a PR.
