Bind XML to ListView in metro style app with JavaScript

Question

Hi,

 I created a metro style app using JavaScript. In my application i am calling an api that returns a xml.  I used the following codes to parse a xml and the result is successfully displayed in my html page.

function loadRemoteXhr() {

        document.getElementById("xhrOutput").innerHTML = "";
      
        
       WinJS.xhr({
            url: "http://api.eventfinder.co.nz/categories/list",
            user: 'xxxxx',
            password:'xxxxx'
        }).then(
            xhrParseXml, xhrError
            );

            
    }
function xhrParseXml(result) {

     

        var outputArea = document.getElementById("xhrOutput");
        var xml = result.responseXML;

       
        if (xml) {
           
            var items = xml.querySelectorAll("categories > category");
            if (items) {

                var length = Math.min(10, items.length);
                for (var i = 0; i < length; i++) {
                    var link = document.createElement("a");
                    var newLine = document.createElement("br");
                   
                    link.setAttribute("href", xml.getElementsByTagName("category")[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue);

                    link.innerText = (i + 1) + ") " + xml.getElementsByTagName("category")[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
               

                    var _maincategory = xml.getElementsByTagName("category")[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue;

                                      

                    outputArea.appendChild(link);
                    outputArea.appendChild(newLine);
                }
            } else {
                outputArea.innerHTML = "There are no items available at this time";
            }
        } else {
            outputArea.innerHTML =
                "Unable to retrieve data at this time. Status code: " + statusCode;
        }
    }

But  i want to bind xml to list view.

Is it possible to bind xml directly to the ListView in javascript metro app??

Help me please,

Thanks.

No not directly.  It is easy to read this data into a list though right?  Just do that!
