pointers for parsing dynamic xml elements

Hi,

I am looking for some pointers as to what technology to use for parsing xml
of the following form:

<root>
    <object ID="">
        <attr_name>balance_object</attr_name>
        <attr_value>Balance</attr_value>
    </object>
    <object ID="">
        <attr_name>object</attr_name>
    </object>
</root>

into a List of MyRow objects each containing a getId() and a
getColumn(String columnName) [where columnName could be attr_name]

In addition this xml does not always look the same as the 3rd tier of names
can change

<root>
    <object ID="23">
        <attr_type>the_object</attr_type>
    </object>
    <object ID="34">
        <attr_type>an_object</attr_type>
    </object>
</root>


Can anyone please help by pointing me in the right direction (and sorry in
advance if this is the wrong forum)


/Michael
