XML complex parse with xml2 and xmltools

Hi everyone,

I'm facing a complex XML file, and have found some awesome resources and examples from, @richardo , @cderv , @danton , to get started, but am running into difficulties with returning multiple node attributes, from various levels, and subsequent child elements. In addition, I need the output in a tidy data frame format.

My code below builds off of @richardo's post, Generate a data frame from many xml files , and from there, I'm trying to incorporate @danton's xmltools package for element values.

Please see the attached screenshot of the output I'm trying to get.

I've included a reprex, please see below, and am looking for the following,

  # need attributes from
  # /Package/PackageBody/InvestmentVehicle
  # /Package/PackageBody/InvestmentVehicle/FundShareClass
  # /Package/PackageBody/InvestmentVehicle/PortfolioList/Portfolio
  # /Package/PackageBody/InvestmentVehicle/PortfolioList/Portfolio/Holding/HoldingDetail

  # need text/values from
  # /Package/PackageBody/InvestmentVehicle/FundShareClass/Operation/ShareClassBasics/Name
  # /Package/PackageBody/InvestmentVehicle/FundShareClass/Operation/ShareClassBasics/LegalType
  # /Package/PackageBody/InvestmentVehicle/PortfolioList/Portfolio/Holding/HoldingDetail/Symbol
  # including all through
  # /Package/PackageBody/InvestmentVehicle/PortfolioList/Portfolio/Holding/HoldingDetail/FirstBoughtDate

  # do not need
  # /Package/PackageBody/InvestmentVehicle/PortfolioList/Portfolio/PortfolioSummary
  # /Package/PackageBody/InvestmentVehicle/PortfolioList/Portfolio/PortfolioBreakdown

Essentially, I'm not able to return the element values for the HoldingDetails, while also repeating the InvestmentVehicle, FundShareClass, and Portfolio attributes for respective HoldingDetail rows. I also need the InvestmentVehicle child elements of Name and LegalType to repeat for each respective HoldingDetail row.

    library(xmltools)
    library(xml2)
    library(dplyr)
    library(tidyr)
    library(purrr)
    library(xmltools)
    install.packages("reprex")
