How to process XML from Google Maps API on Windows Phone 8.1

Question

I am trying to get information from Google Maps API so I follow this:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/xml?location=41.3253483,69.2051768&radius=500&key={myKey}

and then I get the following XML:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
<PlaceSearchResponse>
<status>OK</status>
<result>
<name>Shaykhontohur District</name>
<vicinity>Shaykhontohur District</vicinity>
<type>sublocality_level_1</type>
<type>sublocality</type>
<type>political</type>
<geometry>
<location>
<lat>41.3275402</lat>
<lng>69.2102725</lng>
</location>
<viewport>
<southwest>
<lat>41.2991213</lat>
<lng>69.1613431</lng>
</southwest>
<northeast>
<lat>41.3501339</lat>
<lng>69.2748874</lng>

<place_id>ChIJs9G_ZI2LrjgRXuS05EiJGyY</place_id>
<scope>GOOGLE</scope>
</result>
</PlaceSearchResponse>

So, how do I get the the information I need? *Name *Lat *Lng

I can't seem to enable XDocument nor XCD on Windows Phone. It is all missing.

Will I be able to get my result as a LIST?

IMHO, LINQ to XML will easily solve your problem. Check here
