ritis-package function

All functions that start with <code>itis_</code> work with the ITIS Solr
API described at <a href="http://www.itis.gov/solr_documentation.html">http://www.itis.gov/solr_documentation.html</a>,
which uses the package solrium, and these functions have you
use the solrium function interfaces, so you can pass on parameters
to the solrium functions - so the solrium docs are important
here. All other functions work with the ITIS REST API described at
<a href="http://www.itis.gov/ws_description.html">http://www.itis.gov/ws_description.html</a>. For these methods,
they can grab data in either JSON or XML format. JSON is the default.
We parse the JSON to R native format, either data.frame, character
string, or list. You can get raw JSON as a character string back,
or raw XML as a character string, and then parse yourself with
jsonlite or xml2
