Arguments

x

ns

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().

Examples

x <- read_xml("<bar>123</bar>")
xml_name(x)

y <- read_xml("<bar><baz>1</baz>abc<foo /></bar>")
z <- xml_children(y)
xml_name(xml_children(y))
