Yes, this is possible, using the Node.getPath() and Node.getUniquePath() methods. > Secondly, is it possible to navigate inside a DOM (when initializing a DOM > reader) like someone could do in an ordinary implementation like org.w3c.dom? Yes, you can. > So is there a chance to access elements by their name only (getElementById)? > I think this is not really a problem since it could also be solved by using > XPath > expression, but can I reach the child elements of the current element?

There is no equivalent of the getElementById() method, also the XPath id() method does not work but you can perform simple searches (using element() and elements() methods) to find specific elements.
