read_sdmx returns a dataframe with the SDMX data 'as-is' which means that all columns will be character vectors. The base R function 'download.file' is used when a url is provided to read_sdmx.

Value

Examples

f <- system.file("extdata/compact_2.0.xml", package = "readsdmx")
d <- readsdmx::read_sdmx(f)

d <- readsdmx::read_sdmx(u)
