IDL xpath or similar? [message #69839]

Is there a built in xpath (or similar) methodology for searching an
XML document?. I really don't want to build my own parser, nor
attempt ugly string parsing on an XML document such as this example:
http://spidr.ngdc.noaa.gov/spidr/servlet/GetMetadata?param=i ono.WI937

Essentially, I just want to extract a few nuggets of information and
populate a nested structure whose nodes have the same names as the
elements in the original XML; for easy structure navigation.

I'd prefer not to involve the JavaBridge because:
1) I have a simple package that is easy to use and essentially
requires no installation procedure and is thus very platform neutral.
2) I tried the JavaBridge in the past (for SOAP, etc) and found that
the complexity it's involvement added to the installation process for
a package that needed to run on Linux and Windows to be unwieldy and
beyond the time I had available. In the end, my users community
shrunk.

The package I'm working on is:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/spidr-idl/
