Azure Data Factory是否可以提取存储在Azure Data Lake Store中的XML文件？

Question

Is there some way to ingest XML files from the Azure Data Lake Store Gen1? I'm attempting to create a DataSet in Azure Data Factory using Azure Data Lake Store Gen1. However, XML doesn't appear to be a supported file format - only delimited files, etc.

I have imported an XML file into a folder structure inside of the Azure Data Lake Store. I am now trying to create a DataSet inside of Azure Data Factory. I have to choose Azure Data Lake Store Gen1 to select my file in the folder structure which it does just fine. However, there is no XML format option – only delimted and other file formats that are NOT XML!

What is the work-around for this? I have to believe there is some way to ingest XML files from the Azure Data Lake Store, correct??

The workaround solution is to create a custom activity, please refer to the offical document Use custom activities in an Azure Data Factory pipeline , its purpose as below.

To move data to/from a data store that Data Factory does not support, or to transform/process data in a way that isn't supported by Data Factory, you can create a Custom activity with your own data movement or transformation logic and use the activity in a pipeline. The custom activity runs your customized code logic on an Azure Batch pool of virtual machines.
