Is it possible to get an rss feed using javascript client side scripting only? [closed]

Question

If I can't do this would the process for getting the data be: 1) Have my server get the rss data from the desired rss feed. 2) Have the server parse the data. I don't know what rss looks like but I assume some parsing is needed to display it for a user to read. 3) Send the data to the javascript client.

Answer 1

Or you can use the API of Google Feed to load a RSS Feed and parse it as you need. :) I think is a interesting option.

You can use Yahoo's YQL system just for this. A decent link via Google:
