Well, that is what I usually do - using a SAX parser
and building an application specific object hierarchy (not really DOM).
It would be convenient, however, if the API standardized this.
Example with some Pull API (pseudo-Pascal):
...
Parser.Start;
while Parser.NextNode do
begin
Node := Parser.Node;
case Node.Type of
ntElement:
begin
if TElement(Node).Name = 'SomeName' then
Parser.KeepNode(Node); // this adds the node to the tree
end;
ntAttribute: ...
ntComment: ...
end;
end;
