I want to parse XML using jQuery. Is it possible to parse using XPath? Are there any functions for that in jQuery?

XML Path Language (XPath) is a type of language for identifying different elements or their values within XML documents, similar to the way CSS identifies elements in HTML documents. The jQuery library supports a basic set of XPath selectors that we can use alongside CSS selectors, if we so desire.
XPath uses path expressions to select nodes or node-sets in an XML document. These path expressions look very much like the expressions you see when you work with a traditional computer file system. XPath expressions can be used in JavaScript, Java, XML Schema, PHP, Python, C and C++, and lots of other languages.
The parseXML() method in jQuery is used to parse a string into an XML document. It uses native methods of the browser for creating a valid XML document. This valid XML document can be passed to jQuery for creating a jQuery object that can be manipulated or traversed.
Not directly, but you can use jQuery selectors to achieve the same thing.
