read_scrapeBill(file, subset = NULL)

write_scrapeBill(x, file, aux = "None", ...)

`file`	A `connection` or the name of the file (use `.rds` extension).
`subset`	`numeric` vector of subset locations if reading only the subset of a list of `scrapeBill` object.
`x`	A (or A list of) `scrapeBill` object created by `scrapeBill` function.
`aux`	Whether to export auxiliary files into separate folder when `write_scrapeBill`. If `"None"` (default), do not export any auxiliary file. If `"raw"`, export raw serialized XML vectors. If `"html"`, export HTML files. Set to `"raw"` or `"html"` if you want to avoid the `.rds` file size to become too big (Although the auxiliary files folder size tend to become very big).
`...`	Additional argument passed to `saveRDS`

For read_scrapeBill, an R object. For write_scrapeBill, NULL invisibly. If write_scrapeBill writes out auxiliary files under FILENAME_files folder, DON'T delete the folder. read_scrapeBill will need the files in the folder to read file.
