Parsing XML data

General
1

I hav installed xml2 package and RCurl package and loaded the librariries
library(xml2)
library(RCurl)
library(xmlparsedata)
url<-getURL("Empire Burlesque")

xmldoc<-xml_parse_data(url)
Error in !nrow(pd) : invalid argument type
mldoc<-xmlparsedata(url)
Error in xmlparsedata(url) : could not find function "xmlparsedata"

This Error I am getting in R studio for both xmlparsedata and xml_parse_data

what are you trying to do ?
the library(xmlparsedata) has description xmlparsedata: Parse Data of 'R' Code as an 'XML' Tree
So I don't think its relevant for you to try xml files on its functions. Rather it would be for if you were passing R scripts (like for linting etc.)
you can read the xml with read_xml from xml2 ,and find elements in it etc

in short I think you dont need xmlparsedata most likely

xmldoc <- xml2::read_xml(url)

xlist <- xml2::as_list(xmldoc)

# investigate
str(xlist, max.level = 1)
str(head(xlist[[1]]))

(result_df <- as_tibble(map_dfr(
  xlist[[1]],
  ~ set_names(
    x = as.data.frame(.),
    names(.)
