The de facto pattern for what you're describing is embodied in SAX (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_API_for_XML).  The idea is simple but
powerful: emit events on recognition of patterns and attach listeners which
do the best they can with the information received so far.  Specifically
for node, you might have a look at clarinet (
https://github.com/dscape/clarinet) or sax-js (
https://github.com/isaacs/sax-js).
