There is an R package for parsing XML available from http://www.omegahat.org/R/download/xml/index.html (click on the R Package in the top right corned of the page). I thought it would be useful to have people bang on it before I announce it generally and also port it to S4/Splus5. So all comments would be greatly appreciated. It has two styles of parsing: event driven and document/tree construction, both allowing user-level functions to control the processing of the different XML nodes. This uses (either or both of) the expat parser from Jim Clark and libxml from Daniel Veillard. Because of this, the installation is slightly more involved than a simple call to make. This is released under the GPL as part of the Omega project.
