What's the easiest way to parse XML with XPath?

[ck9663]

Hi guys,

I have an XML that look like this:

 <items Item="myString1" Value="1" Return="1"/>
 <items Item="myString1" Value="2" Return="2"/>
 <items Item="myString2" Value="?" Return="99"/>
 <items Item="myString2" Value="01" Return="50"/>

Now I have two strings. I need see if there's a record/node with attributes Item = myFirstString and Value = mySecondString.

I figure I need to parse this XML (could go as long as 6000 lines) and:
1. return the value in Return attribute or
2. return true if found.

I saw a promising API called J2SE 5.0

Any thoughts?

Thanks guys.
