The API is somewhat inspired by [jQuery](http://jquery.com).\n\n## Installation\n\nYou can install xml2 from CRAN, \n\n```R\ninstall.packages(\"xml2\")\n```\n\nor you can install the development version from github, using `devtools`:\n\n```R\n# install.packages(\"devtools\")\ndevtools::install_github(\"hadley/xml2\")\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n```R\nlibrary(\"xml2\")\nx <- read_xml(\" text \")\nx\n\nxml_name(x)\nxml_children(x)\nxml_text(x)\nxml_find_all(x, \".//baz\")\n\nh <- read_html(\"

Hi !\")\nh\nxml_name(h)\nxml_text(h)\n```\n\nThere are three key classes:\n\n* `xml_node`: a single node in a document.\n\n* `xml_doc`: the complete document. Acting on a document is usually the same \n as acting on the root node of the document.\n\n* `xml_nodeset`: a __set__ of nodes within the document. Operations on \n `xml_nodeset`s are vectorised, apply the operation over each node in the set.\n\n## Compared to the XML package\n\nxml2 has similar goals to the XML package. The main differences are:\n\n* xml2 takes care of memory management for you. It will automatically\n free the memory used by an XML document as soon as the last reference\n to it goes away.\n\n* xml2 has a very simple class hierarchy so don't need to think about exactly \n what type of object you have, xml2 will just do the right thing.\n\n* More convenient handling of namespaces in Xpath expressions - see `xml_ns()` \n and `xml_ns_strip()` to get started.","repoType":"cran"}
