This is possible by reading the content property of the node then using E4X [1],[2],[3] to parse that content. The following code (note: written from memory - almost certainly contains errors) shows one way of doing this:


var node = search.findNode(nodeRef)
var content = node.content
var xml = new XML(content)
var valueOfSomeOtherElement = xml.rootElement.childElement.someOtherElement
‍‍‍‍‍‍

Line 1 uses the Alfresco "search" API to find the node, given the string value of the NodeRef (eg. "workspace:/SpacesStore/d8470f03-b80a-11da-97b9-8d453af5a554").
Line 2 reads the content of that node (note: you should check that the node was successfully loaded before attempting to do this - for clarity I omitted that logic in this example).
Lines 3 and 4 uses E4X constructs to parse the XML content and retrieve the value of some element within the XML (note: you should check that the MIME type of the loaded node is "text/xml" before attempting to parse the XML - for clarity I omitted that logic in this example).

Cheers,
Peter
