Please edit your post to include a sample XML and a description of what you mean by "skip nodes".

Since your parser gets control on each event, you can choose to do nothing based on any criteria you desire. If you want to skip an entire subtree, you have to set a global flag when you encounter the subtree's start element and clear the flag at the end element; then use the flag to control processing of the contained nodes.
