XMLChildren: Get sub-nodes of an XML node

In omegahat/Sxslt: R interface to libxslt

Get sub-nodes of an XML node

Description

An XML node may have child or sub-nodes. These functions allow one to access them as if they were an S list (without element names).

Usage

## S3 method for class 'XMLChildren'
x[...]
## S3 method for class 'XMLChildren'
x[[i]]

Arguments

x	the XMLChildren object containing the nodes.
...	the indeces of the nodes to retrieve.
i	the index of the single sub-node to retrieve

Details

The XMLChildren object is a reference to an internal C-level data structure managed by libxslt. From this, we extract references to the different children and represent these references as S objects.

Value

[.XMLChildren returns a list whereas [[.XMLChildren returns a single element of class XMLNode.
