Can I use JavaScript to generate an RSS (XML) page?

I'm looking to retrieve JSON (from a third-party website) and convert it into a valid RSS/XML feed.

Is this possible?

Can RSS readers read pages that are basically only javascript generating a web page?

Are there other options to convert a JSON web page to RSS? (ie. retrieve the JSON using an HTTP request and then return valid RSS)

You can pretty much convert anything into anything if you have enough input data :) The question is what are you trying to achieve?

If you want persistency, you will very likely have to do that from a server side.

No. RSS is a XML-based file format; as far as I know, it does not support Javascript in any form.

You will need server-side scripting to do the conversion.
