The usual parser is Yaxo.  Its pretty basic and easy to work with.
Are you parsing or generating?

Yaxo is a SAX-like parser. So you can write your one SAX handler  
(more efficient) or use the provided DOM handler (simple). For the  
latter, an example is provided on the class side of XMLDOMParser.

Try the Squeak Swiki - search for YAXO.

The YAXO and XML article includes these useful examples of using the DOM
parser.

========================================
Writing to a file called MyXml.xml

"Code below describes opening a stream and writer and associating the writer
with XMLDocument"

doc := XMLDocument new.
stream := FileStream fileNamed: 'MyXml.xml'. "speicifying the stream"
writer := XMLWriter on:stream. "specifying the writer"
writer initialize.

"Code below describes how you could write an xml element with a tag "
elmt := XMLElement named: 'User' attributes: Dictionary new.

"adding the attribute tags and values to the "
childElmt := XMLElement named: 'Name' attributes: Dictionary new.
childElmt addContent: (XMLStringNode string: ('rao')). "adding a tag called
Name with the value 'rao'"
elmt addElement: childElmt.

doc addElement: elmt.
doc printXMLOn: writer.
stream close.

Reading from MyXml.xml
f := FileStream fileNamed: 'xml.xml'. "opening a stream"
doc := XMLDOMParser parseDocumentFrom: f.
f close.
xmlUser := (doc elements) at: 1. "now you have the entire user data"

"readng the name"
elmt := xmlUser firstTagNamed: #Name.
userName := elmt contentString.

Notice how once you call the parseDocumentFrom: you don't need to have the
stream open because XMLDOMParser builds tree right away from the given
stream.
=====================================

Hope this helps.
