big xml file with nested loop parse

I have an xml file with the structure:
Code:
<tag1>
      <value1>xyx</value1>
      <value2>123</value2>
</tag1>
<tag1>
      <value1>568</value1>
      <value2>zzzzz</value2>
</tag1>

where I want to parse each data pair in the this single file, so something like:
Code:
find first tag1 data pair
      xmlstarlet can get the data (I have this working)
      put that data in a database (I have this working)
go to next tag1 data pair

I don't know if I can make an awk loop with a FS of <>, or just use something like:
Code:
awk '/tag1/, /\/tag1/' sample.xml

which works for an individual data pair, but I just don't know how to build the right loop.

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. SEE ALSO
