Schalk Neeling at Open Voice was kind enough to have me for an interview on jParse. We discussed what sets jParse apart from other XML parsing methods and jQuery plugins, how to use it, planned feature additions and more. Read the interview here.

Today I launched the site of a jQuery plugin that I’ve been working on called jParse. The plugin allows you to easily parse XML that has been fetched with an Ajax request. The plugin works off of jQuery’s ajax method, so all of the same options are available. In terms of parsing, the plugin gives you a few options: Custom Output, Limit, Count of Items and the ability to run functions before and after jParse is finished.

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to create a photo wall of your Flickr photos. The script will use jQuery to send several Ajax requests for JSON data and then ultimately insert all of the images and the information associated with them into the document. The photo wall will be complete with a rollover on each image which will show and link to the information that is available for the image.
