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.e., there are no missing or malformed nodes. If you need to handle such cases, you would need additional error checking and handling.
Also, please ensure that you replace "path/to/your/data.xml"
with the actual path to your XML file.
