Oh, if *that's* what the OP means... hmm, I usually use SAX, I'm not 
seeing a DOM equivalent.  SAX hands you the name of the node, and lists 
attributes by index (number) rather than strictly by name.  I guess DOM 
is for when you already know that there's going to be a "person" node in 
your XML file.

SAX:
   - ContentHandler.startElement:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html#startElement%28java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20org.xml.sax.Attributes%29

   - Attributes.getLocalName():
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/org/xml/sax/Attributes.html#getLocalName%28int%29

     and other similar methods that take an int index like getQName() 
and getValue().
