How to parse XML feeds with jQuery

```javascript $.ajax({ type: 'GET', url: '/some/good/stuff.xml', dataType: 'xml', error: function(xhr) { alert('Failed to parse feed'); }, success: function(xml) { var channel = $('channel', xml).eq(0); var items = []; $('item', xml).each( function() { var item = {}; item.title = $(this).find('title').eq(0).text(); item.link = $(this).find('link').eq(0).text(); item.description = $(this).find('description').eq(0).text(); item.updated = $(this).find('pubDate').eq(0).text(); item.id = $(this).find('guid').eq(0).text(); items.push(item); }); console.dir(items); } }); ``` Your friend Internet Explorer ----------------------------- For IE 6 and better (worse?) the feed must return the right content type, so make sure the response contains this header: ```javascript Content-type: text/xml ``` If this header is not set the jQuery Ajax error handler is called and the feed is not parsed.
