Can SAX locate a single note deep within an XML tree?

Hi,

I have an XML document that, at some points, nodes are about several
levels deep.

For example:

<?xml...
<root>
<node>
<node />
<node>
<node />
<node>
<node />
</node>
..
..
..etc

At the moment I am using DOMXML but as it requires more memory / CPU
usage I am looking into other options. I dont need to modify the XML
tree but instead locate specific nodes (navigating to next siblings,
child nodes and parent nodes) and get attribute values. Is this
possible using SAX?

Cheers
