Unable to parse response xml properly

I am getting a response xml when i invoke a rest service in my html page. Response xml looks like :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<sys:systems xmlns:sys="http://tempuri.org">
    <system>
        <ID>System1</ID>
        <ScheduledStartDateTime>2013-06-12T00:00:00</ScheduledStartDateTime>
        <ScheduledEndDateTime></ScheduledEndDateTime>
        <operations>
            <operation>
                <OperationID>0010</OperationID>
                <Status>Running</Status>
                <ID>10003814</ID>
            </operation>
        </operations>
    </system>
</sys:systems>

Then i am trying to parse the above response using jQuery and for that i am doing something like :

$(xmlDoc).find('sys\\:systems\\system\\ID,ID').text();

Upon doing alert of above statement i get the ID Value but i get both the ID value instead of getting only one ID value.

So what i am trying to fetch is ID=System1 but i am getting both System1 as well as 10003814.

How can i get only System1 as ID? Looking forward to your solutions. Thanks in advance.

Alternatively you iterate through each <system> when there are multiple <system>

$(xml).find("system").each(function(){
        var unitData=$(this).find("ID:first").text()
        alert(unitData);
});


var xml='<sys:systems xmlns:sys="http://tempuri.org"><system><ID>System1</ID><ScheduledStartDateTime>2013-06-12T00:00:00</ScheduledStartDateTime><ScheduledEndDateTime></ScheduledEndDateTime><operations><operation><OperationID>0010</OperationID><Status>Running</Status><ID>10003814</ID></operation></operations></system><system><ID>System1</ID><ScheduledStartDateTime>2013-06-12T00:00:00</ScheduledStartDateTime><ScheduledEndDateTime></ScheduledEndDateTime><operations><operation><OperationID>0010</OperationID><Status>Running</Status><ID>10003814</ID></operation></operations></system></sys:systems>';

$(xml).find("system").each(function(){
        var unitData=$(this).find("ID:first").text()
        alert(unitData);
});

You can target the ID node you want directly using the descendant selector. Try this:

var id = $(xmlDoc).find('system > ID').text();

Working example:

var xmlDoc = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?><sys:systems xmlns:sys="http://tempuri.org"><system><ID>System1</ID><ScheduledStartDateTime>2013-06-12T00:00:00</ScheduledStartDateTime><ScheduledEndDateTime></ScheduledEndDateTime><operations><operation><OperationID>0010</OperationID><Status>Running</Status><ID>10003814</ID></operation></operations></system></sys:systems>'

var id = $(xmlDoc).find('system > ID').text();
alert(id);
