Converting a symbol into XML or DOM is not possible with Pd, but you
could write your parser in a seperate program, e.g. using Python and
Beautiful Soup (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/beautifulsoup4).

Then you can send the data to Pd using UDP and [netreceive] in Pd.

If you can control the webserver, you could output the data as JSON and
then use my extension PuREST JSON:
