R

To manipulate XML data:

  • Load the appropriate packages for parsing XML doc : 
    dir()
setwd(dir="FOLDER"); getwd ()
library(xml2)
library(XML2R)
  • Load XML file and define where to find attributes: 
    doc <- xmlTreeParse("FILE_NAME.xml" , useInternalNodes=TRUE, encoding="UTF-8")
ns =  c(ns =  "http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0")
namespaces = ns
getNodeSet(doc,"//* and //@*", ns) 
doc
The function getNodeSet uses a XPath syntax to match nodes in doc (file), according to a valide value of namespace (ns) which are identified by the URI reference http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0:
