A better way might be to use a XSLT processor with a XSL stylesheet containing the xsl-copy-of element as shown by the following example
Code:
$ cat demo.xml
<ROOT>
  <EXAMPLE>
     <DECLARATION>
        <DECLGROUP>
           <VALUE.OBJECT>
             <DEMO>demontrate xsl:copy-of</DEMO>
           </VALUE.OBJECT>
        </DECLGROUP>
     </DECLARATION>
  </EXAMPLE>
</ROOT>

Code:
$ cat demo.xsl
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/ROOT/EXAMPLE/DECLARATION">
   <xsl:copy-of select="." />
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Code:
$ xslproc demo.xsl demo.xml

     <DECLARATION>
        <DECLGROUP>
           <VALUE.OBJECT>
             <DEMO>demontrate xsl:copy-of</DEMO>
           </VALUE.OBJECT>
        </DECLGROUP>
     </DECLARATION>

XML-XREAD(1)							   User Commands						      XML-XREAD(1)

NAME

       xml-xread - Parse XML documents with entity and URI resolution

SYNOPSIS

       xml-xread [options] xmlfile

DESCRIPTION

       xml-xread  is  a simple command line tool for parsing and validating XML documents.  It is not an actual XML parser, it just wraps around a
       JAXP XMLReader, adding support for catalog-based entity and URI resolution.

OPTIONS

       -c catalogfile
	      Load a particular catalog file.  May be specified multiple times.

       -v     Perform a validating parse.  This is the default.

       -w     Perform a well-formed parse, not a validating parse.

       -N     Perform a namespace-aware parse.	This is the default.

       -n     Perform a namespace-ignorant parse.

       -d debuglevel
	      Set the debug level (an integer).  Warnings are shown if the debug level is set to greater than 2.

       -E maxerrors
	      Set the maximum number of errors to display.  The default is 10.

FILES

       /etc/java/resolver/CatalogManager.properties
	      The central catalog manager configuration file used by xml-xread.
