I have a list parsed from xml by using read_xml
in R, it produced following structure
I want to subset those inputs into different dataframes assigned as input1, input2, input3 etc
.
I tested structure of the list using str()
It produced
$ node:<externalptr>
$ doc :<externalptr>
- attr(*, "class")= chr [1:2] "xml_document" "xml_node"
I used df[[1]]
, it doesn't seem work in this case.
I don't know how to do it more efficiently. Thanks a lot.
I solved my own issue.
First of all, this is a XmlNodeList
as list[[1]]
won't work at this case.
A XML file/url needs to be parsed by using xml_df <- read_xml(url, encoding = "UTF-8")
first.
Then using library(XML)
to load XML
According to https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/xml2/vignettes/modification.html
I have found that following scripts work in my case:
grandchildren<-xml_children(xml_children(xml_children(xml_children(xml_df)[[1]])[[1]])[8])
Hence,
grandchildren
can be used as a normal list.
> grandchildren[[1]]
{xml_node}
<input>
[1] <name>Signal</name>
[2] <id>1062011</id>
[3] <scadaTagID/>
[4] <logInterval xsi:nil="true"/>
[5] <unit/>
[6] <opdata:records>\n <opdata:record>\n <value>19</value>\n <date>2021-05-17T11:14:53</date>\n </opdata:recor ...
Hope it helps for others who have same issue(s).
