I have an RSS feed that I want to read using JQuery and take the data and populate a list with. Can anyone give me a shove in the right direction?

Maybe check out the [jQuery Google Feed Plugin](http://jquery.malsup.com/gfeed/) (you don’t need an API key anymore)

RSS is just XML, so you should be able to use [jQuery’s XML capabilities (`$.parseXML()`)](http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.parseXML/).

Then you can navigate it just as you would any other DOM.

Would you consider using php to do this?

You can do it with `$.parseXML()`.

Example:

$.ajax(“rss_url”, function(rss) {

xml = $.parseXML(rss);
$(xml).find(“item title”).each(function() {

$(“ul”).append($(“
“, {html: $(this).html()}));
});
});
