XML Package

This package provides facilities for the S language to parse XML files, URLs and strings, using either the DOM (Document Object Model)/tree-based approach, or the event-driven SAX (Simple API for XML) mechanism; parse HTML documents, perform XPath queries on a document, generate XML content to buffers, files, URLs, and internal XML trees; read DTDs as S objects. It is an interface to the Libxml2 library. It can be combined with the RCurl package for parsing documents that require more involved HTTP requests to fetch the document.
