In mzID: An mzIdentML parser for R

#' A parser for the mzIdentML file format
#' 
#' Using the \code{mzID} function this package is able to parse mzIdentML files 
#' into an mzID class instance. Multiple files can be parsed in parallel into
#' an mzIDCollection which is a list-like class that handles multiple mzID
#' objects.
#' 
#' The key functionalities are described in the following pages:
#' 
#' \itemize{
#'  \item{\code{\link{mzID}:}}{Parse mzIdentML files}
#'  \item{\code{\link{mzID-class}:}}{Class to store the data from an mzIdentML
#'  file}
#'  \item{\code{\link{mzIDCollection-class}:}}{Class to store multiple mzID
#'  objects}
#'  \item{\code{\link{mzID-getters}:}}{Access the data stored in mzID and 
#'  mzIDCollection objects}
#'  \item{\code{\link{flatten}:}}{Converts the content of an mzID object to a
#'  table with respect to the peptide-spectrum matches}
#' }
#' 
#' The package is maintained at its 
#' \href{https://github.com/thomasp85/mzID}{GitHub repository} where feature
#' requests and bugs can be directed. Questions and bugs can furthermore be
#' posted at the 
#' \href{https://support.bioconductor.org}{Bioconductor support site}
