I want to parse xml output with javascript without jquery.

What is the best and practice about this problems?

Where are you getting your output from? Why don't you want to use jQuery? What does your XML look like? Do you have a specific example of the problem you are facing? — Zack

you can use the DOMParser ( or ActiveX if is Internet Explorer ) like below...

if ( window.DOMParser ) { // Standard
    tmp = new DOMParser();
    xml = tmp.parseFromString( data , "text/xml" );
} else { // IE
    xml = new ActiveXObject( "Microsoft.XMLDOM" );
    xml.async = "false";
    xml.loadXML( data );
}

//the XML is a xml document now :D

to navigate you can use

xml.getElementsByTagName("tagName");
xml.querySelector("selector");
xml.querySelectorAll("[attr=value]");
//and others
