You need GPath.

I posted an example on this list a couple of days ago of a script which 
reads an Atom feed from a web site, takes chunks of the feed and 
generates an HTML document from the feed using a builder and than 
displays it in a Swing window using another builder. Take a look (It's 
in the MarkupBuilder Question thread posted on 15th September). GPath 
makes XML wrangling pretty easy.
