xml2df() drops null elements #37

Closed clnsmth closed 2 years ago

clnsmth commented 2 years ago

The internal function xml2df() drops null elements from the returned data.frame. The expected result is a data.frame with null elements filled with NA. This issue affects several EDItuils functions. See:

Turns out this is an issue in one of the PASTA REST API methods, not xml2df(). See: https://github.com/PASTAplus/PASTA/issues/76

A patch can be applied to EDIutils or a global fix at the repository level.
