example - export a data frame to an XML file

Duncan, thanks for the note - the schema looks like this - is this what 
your asking for?

<document>
 <row>
  <date>2007-02-01</date >
  <UYG_Open>71.32</UYG_Open >
  <UYG_High>71.34</UYG_High >
  <UYG_Low>71.32</UYG_Low >
  <UYG_Close>71.34</UYG_Close >
  <UYG_Volume>200</UYG_Volume >
  <UYG_Adjusted>69.23</UYG_Adjusted >
 </row>
 <row>
  <date>2007-02-02</date >
  <UYG_Open>72.2</UYG_Open >
  <UYG_High>72.2</UYG_High >
  <UYG_Low>72.2</UYG_Low >
  <UYG_Close>72.2</UYG_Close >
  <UYG_Volume>200</UYG_Volume >
  <UYG_Adjusted>70.06</UYG_Adjusted >
 </row>
</document>

Hi Zubin.


  The first thing is to send us a link to the schema that the
other application expects. That would give us a "one-to-one"
mapping; otherwise, data.frame to arbitrary XML is to vague.

  Currently, there is nothing in the XML package that would
be able to take an XML schema and write an R object to such a
structure. However, I am in the process of creating an XMLSchema
package which can read XML schema and make the description available to
R so that we can read data from an XML file corresponding to that schema
and this could be adapted in some ways to automate the creation of
XML from an R object (under certain assumptions).

 So please send us all a link to the XML schema.

In need of exporting an XML file from R, I scrub some data in R and 
push the data into another application requiring XML.  The data set 
is a very straightforward data frame of stock prices- see below.  I 
know the package XML is the one to use, but need an example or some 
direction on where to start.  I know we need to define the schema - 
can this be done in the R XML package?
