This turns an XML document (or node or nodeset) into the equivalent R
list. Note that this is as_list(), not as.list():
lapply() automatically calls as.list() on its inputs, so
we can't override the default.
as_list(x, ns = character(), ...)A document, node, or node set.
Optionally, a named vector giving prefix-url pairs, as produced
by xml_ns(). If provided, all names will be explicitly
qualified with the ns prefix, i.e. if the element bar is defined
in namespace foo, it will be called foo:bar. (And
similarly for attributes). Default namespaces must be given an explicit
name. The ns is ignored when using xml_name<-() and
xml_set_name().
Needed for compatibility with generic. Unused.
as_list currently only handles the four most common types of
children that an element might have:
Other elements, converted to lists.
Attributes, stored as R attributes. Attributes that have special meanings in R
(class(), comment(), dim(),
dimnames(), names(), row.names() and
tsp()) are escaped with '.'
Text, stored as a character vector.
as_list(read_xml(" a "))
as_list(read_xml(" "))
as_list(read_xml(""))
as_list(read_xml(""))
