  Description     : An XML package for the R language

This package provides facilities for the R language to

    * parse XML files, URLs and strings, using either the DOM (Document
      Object Model)/tree-based approach, or the event-driven SAX (Simple
      API for XML) mechanism;
    * generate XML content to buffers, files, URLs, and internal XML trees;
    * read DTDs as R objects.

(Suggestions for a better name are welcome.  See
