In pxweb: R Interface to PXWEB APIs

#' Parse the response from a PXWEB API (advanced)
#'
#' @description
#' The function parses the response from a call made to a PXWEB API
#' using the \code{httr} R package. In this way it is possible to parse the
#' content of calls made outside the pxweb R package.
#'
#' @param x a \code{httr} response object from a PXWEB call.
