google-big-queryHow can I use Google Big Query to process XML data?
Google Big Query can be used to process XML data using the EXTRACT
function. This function extracts specific data from an XML document and returns it as a string. The syntax for the EXTRACT
function is as follows:
EXTRACT(XML, xpath_expr)
where XML
is the XML document and xpath_expr
is an XPath expression that specifies the data to extract.
For example, if the XML document is as follows:
<root>
<person>
<name>John</name>
<age>30</age>
</person>
</root>
Then the following query can be used to extract the person's name:
SELECT EXTRACT(XML, '//person/name/text()')
The output of this query would be John
.
