@Kyle—jQuery does not parse XML, it uses the client's built–in parser (if there is one). Therefore you do not need jQuery to do it, but as little as two lines of plain old JavaScript. If there is no built–in parser, jQuery will not help.

@RobG Actually jQuery uses the DOM, not the built-in parser.

@Qix—you'd better tell the authors of the documentation then: "jQuery.parseXML uses the native parsing function of the browser…". Source: jQuery.parseXML()

Having come here from the meme question (meta.stackexchange.com/questions/19478/the-many-memes-of-meta/…), I love that one of the answers is 'Use jQuery'
