How do I parse XML, and how can I navigate the result using jQuery? Here is my sample XML:

<Pages>

  <Page Name=test>

    <controls>

      <test>this is a test.</test>

    </controls>

  </Page>

  <Page Name = User>

    <controls>

      <name>Sunil</name>

    </controls>

  </Page>

</Pages>

I would like to find the node by this path Pages -> Page Name -> controls -> test ?

There is the $.parseXML function for this: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.parseXML/

You can use it like this:

var xml = $.parseXML(yourfile.xml),

  $xml = $( xml ),

  $test = $xml.find('test');



console.log($test.text());

If you really want an object, you need a plugin for that. This plugin for instance, will convert your XML to JSON: http://www.fyneworks.com/jquery/xml-to-json/
