Answer 1

Finally, i done sort off workaround i could say.

1. Converted Server response to text i.e "Yo, Maria</Somedata>".
2. Replace '\' with ''(blank). i.e. " Yo, Maria < /Somedata>"
3. Replace '"' with '' i.e extra double quotes from text data, Yo, Maria < /Somedata>
4. $.parseXML( Yo, Maria < /Somedata>);
5. Converted parsed xml to jsonObject and then used it.

Please find actual code for doing it...

var xmlRawData = JSON.stringify(response.invocationResult.GetVodafoneStoreResult);
    var xmlData = xmlRawData.replace(/\\/g, ' ');
    var xmlDataTrim = xmlData.replace(/\"/g, '');
    //var str= xmlData;
    var xmlDoc = $.parseXML(xmlDataTrim);
    var jsonObj = xmlToJson(xmlDoc);

function xmlToJson(xml) {

    // Create the return object
    var obj = {};

    if (xml.nodeType == 1) { // element
        // do attributes
        if (xml.attributes.length > 0) {
        obj["@attributes"] = {};
            for (var j = 0; j < xml.attributes.length; j++) {
                var attribute = xml.attributes.item(j);
                obj["@attributes"][attribute.nodeName] = attribute.nodeValue;
            }
        }
    } else if (xml.nodeType == 3) { // text
        obj = xml.nodeValue;
    }

    // do children
    if (xml.hasChildNodes()) {
        for(var i = 0; i < xml.childNodes.length; i++) {
            var item = xml.childNodes.item(i);
            var nodeName = item.nodeName;
            if (typeof(obj[nodeName]) == "undefined") {
                obj[nodeName] = xmlToJson(item);
            } else {
                if (typeof(obj[nodeName].push) == "undefined") {
                    var old = obj[nodeName];
                    obj[nodeName] = [];
                    obj[nodeName].push(old);
                }
                obj[nodeName].push(xmlToJson(item));
            }
        }
    }
    return obj;
};
