https://github.com/apache/groovy/pull/493
Safe number parsing methods for more convenient XML parsing
Added
```
toBigInteger()
toBigDecimal()
toDouble()
toBigLong()
toBigFloat()
```
To _groovy.util.Node_
If the element content is empty or null the methods will return _null_
This is now possible:
```
xml.'**'.find { it.name() == 'someEmptyBigDecimal' }?.toBigDecimal()
```
