Here is an example with XMLStreamReader:

   XMLInputFactory inputFactory = XMLInputFactory.newInstance();
   Map elements = new HashMap<>();

try {
   XMLStreamReader xmlReader = inputFactory.createXMLStreamReader(file);
   String elementValue = "";
   
   while (xmlReader.hasNext()) {
      int xmlEventType = xmlReader.next();
      
      switch (xmlEventType) {  
          // Check for Start Elements
          case XMLStreamConstants.START_ELEMENT:
              
              //Get current Element Name
              String elementName = xmlReader.getLocalName();
              
              if(elementName.equals("td")) {
              //Get Elements Value
              elementValue = xmlReader.getElementText();
              }
              
              //Add the new Start Element to the Map
              elements.put(elementName, elementValue);                
              break;
          default:
             break;
          }    
   }
   //Close Session
   xmlReader.close();        
} catch (Exception e) {
    log.error(e.getMessage(), e);
}
