Parsing or Folding XML file

KevinHart

Hi All,

I uploaded an XML file to my environment but it seems like some fields need to be unnested/unfolded.

In dataiku my file looks like this:

Name	Keywords
Bruce Springsteen	[{"Keyword":[{"Type":"Musician","Category":"Primary ","Keyword":" Born in the USA","SubCategory":"Music","Since":"2002-01-09","Country":"USA","To":"2007-01-09"}]}]

However I would like to get the data in this format:

Name	Type	Category	Keyword	Subcategory	Since	County	To
Bruce Springsteen	Musician	Primary	Born in the USA	Music	2002-01-09	USA	2007-01-09

Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction which preprocessor I should use to unfold or unnest my data?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @KevinHart
,

While exploring your dataset, If clicking on the column 'Keywords', you should be able to see an option to 'unnest' objects, as you can see below:

(screenshot attached)

Could you please try that and let me know if indeed that separates the different objects?

Looking forward to your reply
