Mozilla implementations of JavaScript (Rhino and Spidermonkey) includes an extension to the standard JavaScript syntax that adds a native syntax for XML: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/e4x

This can allow declarative creation of XML literals (which can span multiple lines - a nice workaround for js's lack of support for multi-line strings), as well as a syntax for XPath-like querying.

No. XML and DOM functionality are provided by the browser. Use something like XML for <SCRIPT> if you need it independent of a browser.

I stand corrected, but i think most of JavaScript's DOM api can be used to access an XML document.

It can, but it isn't a native api.
