Parsing XML document

Hello,

I have the following XML document example:

<?xml version="1.0"><root>     <element id="id1">value1</element>     <element id="id2">value2</element>     <element id="id3">value3</element>     <element id="id4">value4</element>     <element id="id5">value5</element></root>

Is it possible to get value by ID without looping through all XML document?

Thank you.
