  All you can do is download it and parse it manually through code that you write. You can't use he VAR_TO_XML or XML_TO_VAR functions since they only work on a specific format created by the functions to work with structures.

  What I have done is iterate through the buffer by breaking out chunks with the > character. If the source is reasonably consistent, you can then test for a tag by looking for what follows the < in that chunk, and detecting a closing tag by looking for a / . Data itself would have no < in front of it.
