In flatxml: Tools for Working with XML Files as R Dataframes

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) See Also Examples

Returns the parent of an XML element.

1	fxml_getParent(xmlflat.df, elemid)

`xmlflat.df`	A flat XML dataframe created with `fxml_importXMLFlat`.
`elemid`	The ID of the XML element. The ID is the value of the `elemid.` field in the flat XML dataframe.

The ID (xmlflat.df$elemid.) of the parent node of the XML element with ID elemid. If no parent exists (because XML node elemid is the root node of the XML document) then NULL is returned.
