xml2 1.0.0.9000

  • Bugfix for xml_length.xml_nodeset that caused it to fail unconditionally. (#140)

  • is.na() now returns TRUE for xml_missing objects. (#139)

  • Trim non-breaking spaces in xml_text(trim = TRUE) (#151).

  • Allow setting non-character attributes (values are coerced to characters). (@sjp, #117, #122).

  • Fixed return value in call to vapply in xml_integer.xml_nodeset. (@ddiez, #146, #147).

  • Allow docs missing a root element to be created and printed. (@sjp, #126, #121).

  • xml_add_* methods now return invisibly. (@sjp, #124)

  • Add write_html() method (#133).

  • as_list() now preserves element names when attributes exist, and escapes XML attributes that conflict with special R attributes (@peterfoley, #115).

xml2 1.0.0

  • All C++ functions now use checked_get() instead of get() where possible, so NULL XPtrs properly throw an error rather than crashing. (@jimhester, #101, #104).

  • xml_integer() and xml_double() functions to make it easy to extract integer and double text from nodes (@jimhester, #97, #99).

  • xml2 now supports modification and creation of XML nodes. New functions xml_new_document(), xml_new_child(), xml_new_sibling(), xml_set_namespace(), , xml_remove(), xml_replace(), xml_root() and replacement methods for xml_name(), xml_attr(), xml_attrs() and xml_text() (@jimhester, #9 #76)

  • xml_ns() now keeps namespace prefixes that point to the same URI (@jimhester, #35, #95).

  • read_xml() and read_html() methods added for httr::response() objects. (@jimhester, #63, #93)

  • xml_child() function to make selecting children a little easier (@jimhester, #23, #94)

  • xml_find_one() has been deprecated in favor of xml_find_first() (@jimhester, #58, #92)

  • xml_read() functions now default to passing the document's namespace object. Namespace definitions can now be removed as well as added and xml_ns_strip() added to remove all default namespaces from a document. (@jimhester, #28, #89)

  • xml_read() gains a options argument to control all available parsing options, including HUGE to turn off limits for parsing very large documents and now drops blank text nodes by default, mimicking default behavior of XML package. (@jimhester, #49, #62, #85, #88)

  • xml_write() expands the path on filenames, so directories can be specified with '~/' (@jimhester, #86, #80)

  • xml_find_one() now returns a 'xml_missing' node object if there are 0 matches (@jimhester, #55, #53, tidyverse/rvest#82).

  • xml_find_num(), xml_find_chr(), xml_find_lgl() functions added to return numeric, character and logical results from XPath expressions. (@jimhester, #55)

  • xml_name() and xml_text() always correctly encode returned value as UTF-8 (#54).

  • Compiles with older versions of libxml2.,

xml2 0.1.1

  • Make configure script more cross platform.

  • Add xml_length() to count the number of children (#32).
