Do you want to browse the XML file from client PC and read it using JavaScript?

If yes, you can't do it .

You can load an XML file from server and read it using JavaScript.

Use XML DOM (Document Object Model) to read XML using JavaScript.

Also you can use XMLHttp object to read XML using JavaScript.

The following links will help you to provide an understanding on XML DOM with sample code.
