C#

var xmlDoc;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
    xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else {// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
            xmlhttp.open("GET", "abc.xml", false);
            xmlhttp.send();
            xmlDoc = xmlhttp.responseXML;


flag = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("flag");
name = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("name");
descp = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("descp");
rating = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("rating");
link= xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("link");

then you have an array by using that array you can display xml content in html page
