Consider using the Java native XML handling, which yields an XML Document with standard DOM methods.

[https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/org/w3c/dom/Document.html](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/org/w3c/dom/Document.html)

You might find my [shared script module](https://www.automation-pros.com/ignition/xml.py) a start, used like so:

```auto
dom = shared.xml.strToDoc(oxml)

```
