Hey guys, is there a way to load XML Data Cross-Domain with JQuery (= client side)?
$.get('http://otherdomain.com/data.xml', function(xml) { }
The above doesn't work - do I have to rely on JSONP, or is there a way to load XML?

An alternate method is using a hidden xdomain iframe and communicating with it via `postMessage` and `receiveMessage`, but jsonp is much easier.

yeah, problem is, there are still loads of webservices which provide data only as xml. I was trying to implement a "generic" method to receive data.

A:
No way to load XML. So yes, using "standard" xmlhttprequests you need JSONpadding.
If the server supports "Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)" you can easily receive data from a foreign domain. That means, you have to add a custom header into your XmlHttpRequest ('Origin') and the server decides if it does allow the request or not.
