I have a particular requirement to parse Sharepoint CAML and produce something else.
The first scenario is to produce an SQL Query.

Are there any best practice dev tools/algorithms when parsing XML? I am thinking of using Linq To Xml as my tool. But not sure if there is a better approach for such type of parsing.

Another approach I like is that the one used by the OpenXML SDK where they have built a strongly typed engine around the Open XML format. Perhaps I could build something similar but it could be a little far fetched.

Any assistance (perhaps previous experience on xml parsing) would be greatly appreciated.

    When reading any structure in any format, you have to find the optimal traversal mechanism. In this case, since CAML Logical Operations are binary (have 2 children only), a particular traversal mechanism can be adopted. Linq to XML is a powerful tool for traversing XML.
