So the vulkan spec has a lot of stuff like
<types>
<type category="struct" name="VkBufferCreateInfo">
            <member><type>VkStructureType</type>        <name>sType</name></member>                          <!-- Must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_BUFFER_CREATE_INFO -->
            <member>const <type>void</type>*            <name>pNext</name></member>                          <!-- Pointer to next structure. -->
            <member optional="true"><type>VkBufferCreateFlags</type>    <name>flags</name></member>                          <!-- Buffer creation flags -->
            <member><type>VkDeviceSize</type>           <name>size</name></member>                           <!-- Specified in bytes -->
            <member><type>VkBufferUsageFlags</type>     <name>usage</name></member>                          <!-- Buffer usage flags -->
            <member><type>VkSharingMode</type>          <name>sharingMode</name></member>
            <member optional="true"><type>uint32_t</type>               <name>queueFamilyIndexCount</name></member>
            <member noautovalidity="true" len="queueFamilyIndexCount">const <type>uint32_t</type>*        <name>pQueueFamilyIndices</name></member>
...
</ type>
...
</types>
How do I iterate over the child level elements only (ignoring the ones like <type>VkStructureType</type>)?
Do i have to check their parentage each time or is there an easier way?

Element.childNodes gives only direct children.

You could also do

document.querySelectorAll("types > type")

to get only the <type> tags that are a direct child of <types>.

(If you've ever done CSS or Javascript, this is similar syntax. I didn't implement the whole selector syntax and haven't kept up with any of the bleeding edge stuff, but all the basics work the same way.)
