The best way is to use the node object directly by using its attributes property. The only difference in my solution below compared to others suggesting this method is that i would use .each again instead of a traditional js loop:

$(xml).find('item').each(function() {
  $.each(this.attributes, function(i, attrib){
     var name = attrib.name;
     var value = attrib.value;
     // do your magic :-)
  });
});
