The input XML, available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/car.xml, is this:

</root>

        // Navigate to the "car" node, which is the 1st child:
        Xml carNode = xml.firstChild();

        // Get the value of the "model" attribute:
        System.out.println("model = " + carNode.getAttrValue("model"));

        // Get the value of the "hp" attribute as an integer:
        int horsepower = carNode.getAttrValueInt("hp");
        System.out.println("horsepower = " + horsepower);

        // Iterate over the attributes and show the name/value of each:
        int numAttr = carNode.getNumAttributes();

        int i = 0;
        while (i < numAttr) {
            System.out.println(carNode.getAttributeName(i) + ": " + carNode.getAttributeValue(i));
            i = i + 1;
        }

        carNode.close();
    }
