xml_new_document {xml2}R Documentation

Create a new document, possibly with a root node

Description

xml_new_document creates only a new document without a root node. In most cases you should instead use xml_new_root, which creates a new document and assigns the root node in one step.

Usage

xml_new_document(version = "1.0", encoding = "UTF-8")

xml_new_root(
  .value,
  ...,
  .copy = inherits(.value, "xml_node"),
  .version = "1.0",
  .encoding = "UTF-8"
)
