<p>I want to use jQuery to parse RSS feeds. Can this be done with the base jQuery library out of the box or will I need to use a plugin?</p>

Use jFeed
- a jQuery RSS/Atom plugin. According to the docs, it's as simple as:
```
```
jQuery.getFeed({
   url: 'rss.xml',
   success: function(feed) {
      alert(feed.title);
   }
});
```
```
