R: The (tag) name of an xml element.

xml_name {xml2} | R Documentation

## The (tag) name of an xml element.

### Description

The (tag) name of an xml element.

Modify the (tag) name of an element

### Usage

    xml_name(x, ns = character())

    xml_name(x, ns = character()) <- value

    xml_set_name(x, value, ns = character())

### Arguments

`x` | A document, node, or node set.
`ns` | Optionally, a named vector giving prefix-url pairs, as produced by `xml_ns()`. If provided, all names will be explicitly qualified with the ns prefix, i.e. if the element `bar` is defined in namespace `foo`, it will be called `foo:bar`. (And similarly for attributes). Default namespaces must be given an explicit name. The ns is ignored when using `xml_name<-()` and `xml_set_name()`.
`value` | a character vector with replacement name.

### Value

A character vector.

### Examples

    x <- read_xml("<bar>123</bar>")
    xml_name(x)

    y <- read_xml("<bar><baz>1</baz>abc<foo /></bar>")
    z <- xml_children(y)
    xml_name(xml_children(y))
