Just use the $.ajax function, and set the dataType option like this:
$.ajax({
    url: 'ajax.php',
    dataType: 'xml',
    success: function(xml) {
        // do something with XML document with DOM functions
        var items = xml.getElementsByTagName('item');
    }
}
You can see the documentation of the $.ajax function here:
