How get xml result(cross domain request)?

Question

I need to make a request to a dedicate website , using jsonp for cross domain reason to get back a XML result and work on it. So basicly I am doing this to start :

(function($) {
var url = 'http://www.website.....';
$.ajax({
   type: 'GET',
    url: url,
   // async: false,
   // contentType: "application/json",
dataType: 'jsonp',
});
})(jQuery);

I can finally get an answer from website, that I can see in the firebug plugin, but in XML tab such as :

<Results xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"     xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://www.website.com">
<ResultSet id="searchResults" numResults="3" >

From my understanding jsonp is a json object and in my case it s returning a XML content.

My problem is how to manage the XML return from the website? I can parse it and play with in the javascript code.

I don't think `$.ajax` will accept xml in a `jsonp` request. It is basically a script request where the response is a function call. That won't eval xml well I don't think. Suggest you just use a proxy — charlietfl, Dec 23 '14 at 08:51

You need to define your jsonpcallback in order to tinker with the return value of the request.

See:
