$.getJSON is meant to get JSON objects, which are, at their heart, script elements that get run (hence the callback). Because they are script elements they can be loaded in from another domain.
Unfortunately you can't use the usual $.load or $.ajax functions to load in yjr XML because they use the XMLHttpRequest system, which can't load things in from other domains. You're going to have to use some sort of "server side proxy" because the web service only provides XML results. First link from a Google search of "ajax xmlhttprequest proxy": http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/11/09/fixing-ajax-xmlhttprequest-considered-harmful.html It's old but should point you in the right direction.
