Parse xml in jquery and store the xml element in array

Question

I have the following xml structure:

 //xml
<ArrayofTech>
 <TechJobs>a</TechJobs>
 <TechJobs>b</TechJobs>
</ArrayofTech>

I would like to store in array the above TechJobs nodes xml like: Array.push(Techjobs). I have to store each TechJobs node into an array. How to parse this xml .The Code which i have tried is shown below:

$(xml).find("TechJobs").each(function () {
array.push($(this));
}

How to fix this?

Try to use .outerHTML like,

var xml = "<ArrayofTech> <TechJobs>a</TechJobs> <TechJobs>b</TechJobs></ArrayofTech>";
var array = $(xml).find("TechJobs").map(function() {
    return this.outerHTML; // to get the techjob
}).get();
console.log(array);

Using .get() alongside .map to transform the data, should return you the array:

var array = $(xml).find("TechJobs").map(function() {
    return $(this).text();
}).get();

If you want the XML, just use .get and leave out the mapping:

var array = $(xml).find("TechJobs").get();

@RGraham I want the complete xml node ie TechJobs xml as a string not just the values.

@user3393032 Even easier, just remove the .map function

You can use .map() here:

var arr = $(xml).find("TechJobs").map(function() {
    return $(this).html();
}).get();
