JSON2XML

USAGE

Using JSON2XML is straightforward. There are two functions for conversion: json2XML and xml2JSON.

xml2JSON

require(JSON2XML)
fileURL <-  "http://api.sportsdatallc.org/nfl-t1/2013/REG/1/statistics.xml?api_key=4dhyq3f3rfkp2cbm4yqbcuag"
xData <- readLines(fileURL)
jData <- xml2JSON(paste(xData, collapse='')) # convert to JSON
out <- RJSONIO::fromJSON(jData)
do.call(rbind.data.frame, out$games$game[[1]]$team[[1]][[c('defense', 'player')]])

json2XML

require(JSON2XML)
jsonString <- RJSONIO::toJSON(list(a=1, r = list(b = 2:3, c= 'd')), collapse = '')
xData <- json2XML(jsonString)
XML::xmlParse(json2XML(jsonString))
