Extracting Coordinates from XML Data in R: A Simple Solution Using tidyverse
Here is the solution in R programming language: library(tidyverse) library(xml2) data <- read_xml("path/to/your/data.xml") vertices <- xml_find_all(data, "//V") coordinates <- tibble( X = as.integer(xml_attr(vertices, "X")), Y = as.integer(xml_attr(vertices, "Y")) ) This code reads the XML data from a file named data.xml, finds all <V> nodes (xml_find_all), extracts their X and Y coordinates using xml_attr, converts them to integers with as.integer, and stores them in a new tibble called coordinates. Please note that this code assumes that the XML data is well-formed, i.
