Instance Constructors

  1. new XMLReader(storeContent: Boolean = false, xmlKeepTags: Boolean = false, onlyLeafNodes: Boolean = true)

    storeContent

    Whether to include the raw XML content in the resulting DataFrame as a separate 'content' column. By default, this is false.

    xmlKeepTags

    Whether to retain original XML tag names and include them in the metadata for each extracted element. Useful for preserving structure. Default is false.

    onlyLeafNodes

    If true, only the deepest elements (those without child elements) are extracted. If false, all elements are extracted. Default is true.

    Input Format

    Input must be a valid path to an XML file or a directory containing XML files.

    Example

    val xmlPath = "./data/sample.xml"
    val xmlReader = new XMLReader()
    val xmlDf = xmlReader.read(xmlPath)
    xmlDf.show(truncate = false)
    +----------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
    |path                  |xml                                               |
    +----------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
    |file:/data/sample.xml |[{Title, My Book, {tag -> title}}, ...]          |
    +----------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
    
    xmlDf.printSchema()
    root
     |-- path: string (nullable = true)
     |-- xml: array (nullable = true)
     |    |-- element: struct (containsNull = true)
     |    |    |-- elementType: string (nullable = true)
     |    |    |-- content: string (nullable = true)
     |    |    |-- metadata: map (nullable = true)
     |    |    |    |-- key: string
     |    |    |    |-- value: string (valueContainsNull = true)
