explicit type for the input format. By default, will
attempt to guess the format, but it always safer to specify the
input format. This is essential for literal text strings or raw
vectors where the type cannot be guessed by the R object class
or file extension of the input.

Coerce an EML file or object into an emld object.

This is a utility for transforming Ecological Metadata Language
('EML') files into 'JSON-LD' and back into 'EML.'  Doing so creates a
list-based representation of 'EML' in R, so that 'EML' data can easily
be manipulated using standard 'R' tools. This makes this package an
effective backend for other 'R'-based tools  working with 'EML.' By
abstracting away the complexity of 'XML' Schema, developers can
build around native 'R' list objects and not have to worry about satisfying
many of the additional constraints of set by the schema (such as element
ordering, which is handled automatically). Additionally, the 'JSON-LD'
representation enables the use of developer-friendly 'JSON' parsing and
serialization that may facilitate the use of 'EML' in contexts outside of 'R,'
as well as the informatics-friendly serializations such as 'RDF' and
'SPARQL' queries.
