Abstract

With their book XML and Web Technologies for Data Sciences with R, Deborah Nolan and Duncan Temple Lang provide an extensive introduction to the collection and processing of XML and other web data within the R programming environment. The authors pick up a remarkable development that has been taking place over the last years: We observe a rapid and profound change in what is possible in data-based science and business by exploiting new (and often web-based) sources of information. From the software perspective, R has become one of the major workhorses for modern data science work. Temple Lang has contributed several important R packages over the past years, including RCurl for network communication, XML for parsing and creating XML-style documents and RJSONIO for handling JSON content.
