This is sample how to use ajax to get xml data source.

JavaScript

$.ajax({
	type : "GET",
	url : "sites1.xml",//urlOftheXml 
	dataType : "xml",
	success : function(xml) {
	$(xml).find('func').each(function() {
	var number1 = $(this).find('number1').text();
	$(this).find('case').each(function() {
		if ($(this).find('reserved').text().length == 0) {
		var data = $(this).find('data').text();
		var bitoffs = $(this).find('bitoffs').text();
		var temp = parseInt(str.substr(bitoffs, bitsize), 2);
		alert("number :" + number1 + "data :" + data + temp);
		}
	   });
	});
    }
});

Solution 2

If you are consuming the REST from a different site, then you need to used either JSONP or easyXDM to consume it with Javascript.
