I have share my java coding in below, based on the above question.

var myDocument = app.activeDocument;

var log=new File(app.activeDocument.filePath+"/log.html");

log.encoding = "UTF-8";

log.open("w");

log.writeln("<html><body><table border=1>");

log.writeln("<tr><td>Text(In template)</td><td>Found(Href Tag)</td></tr>");

FindEmail(myDocument);

log.writeln("</table></body></html>");

log.close();

alert("process Completed");

function FindEmail(elm)

{

for (var i = 0; i < elm.xmlElements.length; i++)

{

XMLelementName=elm.xmlElements.markupTag.name.toString();

if(XMLelementName=="img")

{

for(j=0; j<elm.xmlElements.xmlAttributes.length; j++)

{

var cc = elm.xmlElements.contents

//alert(cc);

var aa = elm.xmlElements.xmlAttributes.name

Hi there is more interesting and performing imho:

var main = function(){
  var doc = app.properties.activeDocument,
  xmlFile = File ( Folder.temp+"/attr.xml" ),
  xmlObject,
  xmlAttrs, attrs = [], n = 0, i = 0,
  sep = "\t";

  if (!doc) return;

  doc.exportFile ( ExportFormat.XML, xmlFile );

  if ( !xmlFile.exists ) {
  alert("Unable to read xml data");
  return;
  }


  xmlFile.open('r');
  xmlObject = XML ( xmlFile.read() );
  xmlFile.close();
  xmlFile.remove();

  xmlAttrs = xmlObject.xpath("//*//@*");

  n = xmlAttrs.length();

  while ( i<n ) {
  attrs [ attrs.length ] = xmlAttrs.name()+sep+xmlAttrs;
  i++;
  }

  if ( !attrs.length ) {
  alert("Could'nt find any attributes.");
  return;
  }


  writeFile ( "Attribute Name"+sep+"Attribute Value"+"\r"+attrs.join("\r") );
};


var writeFile = function( data ) {
  var file = File ( Folder.desktop+"/attributes.csv" );
  file.open("w");
  file.write ( data );
  file.close();
  file.execute();
}
main();

FWIW,
