How to extract each record from an XML doc containing multiple records

I want a sample code to get each record from a large xml document for parsing the data in it

Example for the XML doc is given below

<document>address

<record>0

<data>"11.97.23.174/32"

<record>address <data>

<record>address <data>

<record>subnet <data>

<record>ip <data>"10.97.23.174"</data></record>

</data></record>

</data></record>

</data></record>

</data></record>

<record>1

<data>FGT-MGT-PSS1

<record>address <data>

<record>address <data>

<record>subnet <data>

<record>ip <data>"10.97.23.180"</data></record>

and so on..........

For parsing I want the first record only. Means this much

<record>0

<data>"11.97.23.174/32"

<record>address <data>

<record>address <data>

<record>subnet <data>

<record>ip <data>"10.97.23.174"</data></record>

</data></record>

</data></record>

</data></record>

</data></record>

How to extract the records one by one?
