Examples

path <- get_examples_path(file_type = "xml")

# Read from a usms file (soils used in a USM):
soil_list <- get_soils_list(file = file.path(path, "usms.xml"))

# Read from a soil file (all soil types available in a soil file)
soil_list <- get_soils_list(file = file.path(path, "sols.xml"))

soil_list <- get_soils_list(
  file = file.path(path, "usms.xml"),
  soil = c("solcanne", "sole")
)
