Hi Shashank,
If the output of the transaction call is an XML and you need to parse the data out of it then the content-type should remain as 'text/xml'. You can parse the XML using the parse function below. I found this on searching the web but unfortunately don't remember the source.
var parseXml;
var groups = [];
var recordlist = "";
if (typeof window.DOMParser != "undefined") {
parseXml = function(xmlStr) {
return ( new window.DOMParser() ).parseFromString(xmlStr, "text/xml");
} else if (typeof window.ActiveXObject != "undefined" &&
       new window.ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")) {
    parseXml = function(xmlStr) {
        var xmlDoc = new window.ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
        xmlDoc.async = "false";
        xmlDoc.loadXML(xmlStr);
        return xmlDoc;
} else {
throw new Error("No XML parser found");
You can call it like parseXML(<data_received>)
Hope this helps!
