Reading XML

[XML Beginner11]

I have the following XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <response>
        <status>200</status>
        <message>OK</message>
        <data>
            <count><![CDATA[841]]></count>
        </data>
</response>

I am trying to return the count - just the "841". Can anyone help?
