xml2 (version 1.1.0)

as_xml_document: Coerce a R list to xml nodes.

Description

This turns an R list into the equivalent XML document. Not all R lists will produce valid XML, in particular there can only be one root node and all child nodes need to be named (or empty) lists. R attributes become XML attributes and R names become XML node names.

Usage

as_xml_document(x, ...)

Arguments

x
A document, node, or node set.
...
Needed for compatibility with generic. Unused.

Examples

Run this code
as_xml_document(list(x = list()))

# Nesting multiple nodes
as_xml_document(list(foo = list(bar = list(baz = list()))))

# attributes are stored as R attributes
as_xml_document(list(foo = structure(list(), id = "a")))
as_xml_document(list(foo = list(
     bar = structure(list(), id = "a"),
     bar = structure(list(), id = "b"))))
