XML (version 3.1-1)

xmlClone: Create a copy of an internal XML document or node

Description

These methods allow the caller to create a copy of an XML internal node. This is useful, for example, if we want to use the node or document in an additional context, e.g. put the node into another document while leaving it in the existing document. Similarly, if we want to remove nodes to simplify processing, we probably want to copy it so that the changes are not reflected in the original document.

At present, the newly created object is not garbage collected.

Usage

xmlClone(node, recursive = TRUE, addFinalizer = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

Value

  • A new R object representing the object.
