jQuery

Most of the traversing and manipulation methods provided by jQuery work with XML documents. $.parseXML() parses a well-formed XML string into an XML document, which can then be wrapped in a jQuery object and queried or modified with the usual jQuery methods such as find() and text().

  $title = $xml.find( "title" );

// Append "RSS Title" to #someElement
$( "#someElement" ).append( $title.text() );

// Change the title to "XML Title"
$title.text( "XML Title" );

// Append "XML Title" to #anotherElement
$( "#anotherElement" ).append( $title.text() );
