Enumerating across a NodeList

What's the recommended way to iterate across
an enumeration of Nodes in a NodeList?
 
Do you simply fire up a Java for loop and use
int j ;
NodeList.item(j) ; // ??
 
Or, do you use org.w3c.dom.traversal.TreeWalker?
 
org.w3c.dom.traversal.DocumentTraversal.createNodeIterator and
org.w3c.dom.traversal.NodeIterator?
 
Create a java.util.Enumeration of Nodes and use standard Java
while(enum.hasMoreElements()) { // ??
 
What does "best practices" say?

Depends on what the parser supports. If the parser you are using has dom
level 2 support you could use that else you could use the std java
Enumeration.
