R: Parse XML message

parseSOAP {SSOAP} | R Documentation

## Parse XML message

### Description

This is a convenience function to parse the SOAP message returned from a server and retrieve the payload of the message as an XML tree in S.

### Usage

    parseSOAP(xmlSource, header = FALSE, reduce = TRUE, ...,
              fullNamespaceInfo = TRUE)

### Arguments

`xmlSource` | an string giving the name of an file or URL containing the XML content, or a string containing the XML content itself.
`header` | ignored
`reduce` | a logical value indicating whether to return the top-most XML node of the Body or to return the entire XML tree read from `xmlSource`. If this is true, we find the Body node and return its first child.
`...` | arguments that are passed directly to `xmlTreeParse` without being processed by this function.
`fullNamespaceInfo` | a logical value that is passed on to `xmlTreeParse` when parsing the SOAP response This controls how the namespace information on each XML node is represented, with `TRUE` causing the prefix and URI to be included rather than just the prefix.

### Value

An `XMLNode` object.
