Parsing XML - getChild problem

Is it correct, that kDOM is only for jsdk and if I write a programm for
a mobile-phone I cannot use it?
 
I parse an xml File with the org.kxml.parse.XMLParser. There is no
method for getting a child-element of an element. Do I have to programm
this by hand or are there other possibilities? (Now I am trying to write
it with the Parseevents, but thats uncomfortable)
