\title{Create a copy of an internal XML document or node}
\description{
These methods allow the caller to create a copy of
an XML internal node. This is useful, for example, if we want to use
the node or document in an additional context, e.g.
put the node into another document while leaving it in the
existing document. Similarly, if we want to remove nodes to simplify
processing, we probably want to copy it so that the changes are not
reflected in the original document.
At present, the newly created object is not garbage collected.
}
\usage{
xmlClone(node, recursive = TRUE, addFinalizer = FALSE, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{node}{the object to be cloned}
\item{recursive}{a logical value indicating whether the
entire object and all its descendants should be duplicated/cloned (\code{TRUE})
or just the top-level object (\code{FALSE})}
\item{addFinalizer}{typically a logical value indicating whether to bring this
new object under R's regular garbage collection.
This can also be a reference to a C routine which is to be used as
the finalizer. See \code{\link[base]{getNativeSymbolInfo}}.
}
\item{\dots}{additional parameters for methods}
}
\value{
A new R object representing the object.
