I’ve been looking around for a decent jQuery feed/XML parser and found good plugins

  • 0

I’ve been looking around for a decent jQuery feed/XML parser and found good plugins like jFeed and jParse (among a few others). None of these support retrieving an external feed though, which is something I’m after.

Pretty sure this is down to jQuery’s $.ajax() method rather than the plugins themselves (as they’ll be built from this).

Is there some sort of hack I could use to override jQuery, or a raw JavaScript alternative? Better still would be a better plugin, but even the more popular ones I found didn’t support it.

Thanks

    The answer looks to be on this page, using YQL instead of my own PHP proxy to handle the requests.

    After finding out that it’s not possible to do a simple JavaScript call to handle these requests, this jQuery plugin looks ideal, going to try it out later.

    In fact, for parsing of RSS feeds without jQuery you can use the Google AJAX Feed API. Works a treat.

    Thanks for the replies
