xml_name

The (tag) name of an xml element.

The (tag) name of an xml element.

Modify the (tag) name of an element

xml_name(x, ns = character())

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

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

`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.

A character vector.

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))
