Can ajax or jquery be used to parse it.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Yes, you can use jQuery to parse it.

https://api.jquery.com/jQuery.parseXML/

jQuery.parseXML uses the native parsing function of the browser to create a valid XML Document. This document can then be passed to jQuery to create a typical jQuery object that can be traversed and manipulated.
