You know...
You could always create your own object-model for representation of these
(HashMaps might work), and then a Navigator to walk them with XPaths.
You'd only have to implement the axes you really care about, in this case,
only the child:: axis.
Your OM might be something as simple as
Map i = new HashMap();
Map like = new HashMap();
Map hate = new HashMap();
i.put( "like", like );
i.put( "hate", hate );
like.put ( "cars", Boolean.TRUE );
like.put ( "*", Boolean.TRUE );
hate.put ( "cars", Boolean.TRUE );
Of course, just use a StringTokenizer to construct the trail of
Maps, possibly.
Your navigator would implement getChildAxisIterator(Object obj)
basically as
return ((Map)obj).values().iterator();
Just a thought...
