All examples show pretty much the same code but without much explanation, could someone explain what each line is doing?
I put in the comments my own interpretation but I would really like a confirmation:
var xml = "<rss version='2.0'><channel><title>RSS Title</title></channel></rss>";// parseXML will parse the string to an Object, or as the docs put it:// "parseXMLuses the native parsing function of the browser to create a valid XML Document."// from what I cam see, this is already an objectvar xmlDoc = $.parseXML( xml );// I guess the next step is also described in the docs, is this casting?// "This document can then be passed tojQueryto create a typical jQuery object that can be traversed and manipulated"// not sure what happens when you pass it to jquery...?var $xml = $( xmlDoc );// this is fine, I guess now we have a traversable objectvar $title = $xml.find( "title" );
