rest - Alfresco getChildren paginated. How to get properties? -

i need obtain children of node, paging.

first try this:

queryresult childqueryresult = repositoryservice.querychildren(reference); 

but don't find query method paginate results

then try using rest call

http://.../alfresco/service/api/node/workspace/spacesstore/<nodeid>/children?skincount=1&maxitems=10 

and returns xml cmis:properties.

i call httpclient , read response doing:

client.executemethod(method) string response = method.getresponsebodyasstring() 

but how can read cmis:properties? there object parse it? give me example, please? can't find example obtain properties of children.

is api deprecated? maybe better use without cmis, json response, example?
