[R] R and REST API's

[Gary Lewis]

Hi - Many organizations now make their data available as XML via a
REST web service architecture. Is there any R package or facility to
access this type of data directly (eg, to make the HTTP GET request
and have the downloaded data put into an R data  frame)?

I used several R search sites to look for an answer, but came up with
very little. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks very much.
