how to write/modify a xml file in SharePoint using a client side language(JavaScript)

Question

Currently I'am working on a ASP.NET project and I have written a C# code to write/modify my XML document, which I'am using to structure my portal. I now have to migrate my project to SharePoint, where I'am able to read my xml document but i don't know how to modify the same. Is there any way i can do it with the help of JavaScript.? I have read many blogs, but wasn't able to get any satisfactory solution. My colleague told me that he modified a database using SharePoint using JavaScript so there would be a way to do the same with XML.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

What are you modifying, and what is it that you can't do? Give details about your specific problem. — nunespascal, Commented Jun 6, 2013 at 12:12
JavaScript can not modify anything on the server by itself. At some point, you'll still have to call some server side method which will modify the file. — Alex Filipovici, Commented Jun 6, 2013 at 12:17
@nunespascal -- I want to modify xml file(delete and add some new nodes). I am able to read the xml file using AJAX but i can't write it with AJAX. — madhur, Commented Jun 6, 2013 at 12:28
@AlexFilipovici -- Is there any JavaScript Library that provides direct funtions to modify the xml structure by calling the server side methods. — madhur, Commented Jun 6, 2013 at 12:31

What you are looking for is the SharePoint JavaScript object model. This is a sharepoint library that allows you to manipulate sharepoint objects using javascript.

SharePoint does allow you to share documents too, so you could upload an xml document to a SharePoint library. But if you are building a SharePoint site, there are probably a lot better methods to customize it, like a SharePoint list, than using an xml file in a SharePoint document library.
