Use the W3C DOM to traverse the Elements of the Document (getFirstChild(), getNextSibling(), ...) or getNodesByTagNameNS (also part of W3C DOM). Does batik provide some facilities to get elements , convert them to shape and then convert them to path ? This is what Batik does internally. However your question is too vague to provide a real answer too. What elements? Quite a number in SVG can't be converted to shapes. Also what is the difference between a 'shape' and 'path'? please correct me in case that Im wrong : A shape can be Any of SVG elements  , but a path is an specific SVG element which is created by using some other basic elements like Curve , lines , arc ... Indeed i want to retrieve a sequence of straight lines from each shape. more explanation : Imagine that i have a java.awt.Shape object , this object contain one of SVG document elements (for example a text element) Now , i want to convert  this text element to a Path ,  and convert the path to a sequence of straight lines. so far another member kindly answered this question , but i could not find out how i should use his/her tip the other member said : Anyway if you have the 'd' data you can use the batik.parser.AWTPathProducer with the batik.parser.PathParser to create an AWT GeneralPath which you can either query for the real 'curve' segments (quadradic and cubic beziers, lines, etc) or you can call flatten on that path and get a sequence of straight lines that approximate the original path... I tried both of this classes but i can not find how i should use them. indeed  i did not find a method that get a shape and return a sequence of lines.
