Example .  An example of nested downloads using RCurl. This example uses RCurl to download an HTML document and then collect the name of each link within that document.

Example .  An example of nested downloads using RCurl.

The purpose of the example is to illustrate how we can combine the RCurl package to download a document and use this directly within the XML (or HTML) parser without having the entire content of the document in memory. We start the download and pass a function to the xmlEventParse() function for processing. As that XML parser needs more input, it fetches more data from the HTTP response stream. This is useful for handling very large data that is returned from Web queries. To do this, we need to use the multi interface for libcurl in order to have asynchronous or non-blocking downloading of the document. The remaining part is how we combine these pieces with RCurl and the XML packages to do the parsing in this asynchronous, interleaved manner.

The steps in the code are as explained as follows. Perform = FALSE . Algorithmic Trading with IBrokers. Models Collecting Dust? How to Transform Your Results from Interesting to Impactful. Data science, machine learning, and analytics have re-defined how we look at the world.

Models Collecting Dust? How to Transform Your Results from Interesting to Impactful

The R community plays a vital role in that transformation and the R language continues to be the de-facto choice for statistical computing, data analysis, and many machine learning scenarios. The importance of R was first recognized by the SQL Server team back in 2016 with the launch of SQL ML Services and R Server. Over the years we have added Python to SQL ML Services in 2017 and Java support through our language extensions in 2019. Earlier this year we also announced the general availability of SQL ML Services into Azure SQL Managed Instance. SparkR, sparklyr, and PySpark are also available as part of SQL Server Big Data Clusters. With that said, much has changed in the world of data science and analytics since 2016. Today we are making the following announcements to clearly state our direction and intent for R within Azure SQL and SQL Server.

Note #1: Check out this very useful post by Najko Jahn describing how to extract links to blogs via Google Blog Search .

Extracting comments from a Blogger.com blog post with R

Note #2: I’ll update the code below once I find the time using Najko’s cleaner XPath-based solution. Recently I’ve been working with comments as part of the project on science blogging we’re doing at the Junior Researchers Group “Science and the Internet” . I wrote the script below to quickly extract comments from Atom feeds, such as those generated by Blogger.com . The code isn’t exactly pretty, mostly because I didn’t use an XML parser to properly read the data, instead resorting to brute-force pattern matching, but it gets the job done. HtmlToText(): Extracting Text from HTML via XPath. Converting HTML to plain text usually involves stripping out the HTML tags whilst preserving the most basic of formatting.

htmlToText(): Extracting Text from HTML via XPath

I wrote a function to do this which works as follows (code can be found on github): The above uses an XPath approach to achieve it’s goal. Another approach would be to use a regular expression. These two approaches are briefly discussed below: GScholarXScraper: Hacking the GScholarScraper function with XPath. Kay Cichini recently wrote a word-cloud R function called GScholarScraper on his blog which when given a search string will scrape the associated search results returned by Google Scholar, across pages, and then produce a word-cloud visualisation.

GScholarXScraper: Hacking the GScholarScraper function with XPath

This was of interest to me because around the same time I posted an independent Google Scholar scraper function get_google_scholar_df() which does a similar job of the scraping part of Kay’s function using XPath (whereas he had used Regular Expressions). My function worked as follows: when given a Google Scholar URL it will extract as much information as it can from each search result on the URL webpage into different columns of a dataframe structure. In the comments of his blog post I figured it’d be fun to hack his function to provide an XPath alternative, GScholarXScraper. I think that’s pretty much everything I added. JGR « Fells Stats.

Untitled. Abstract The idea here is to provide simple examples of how to get started with processing XML in R using some reasonably straightforward "flat" XML files and not worrying about efficiency. Here is an example of a simple file in XML containing grades for students for three different tests. <? Xml version="1.0" ? A Short Introduction to the XML package for R. To parse an XML document, you can use xmlInternalTreeParse() or xmlTreeParse() (with useInternalNodes specified as TRUE or FALSE) or xmlEventParse() .

If you are dealing with HTML content which is frequently malformed (i.e. nodes not terminated, attributes not quoted, etc.), you can use htmlTreeParse() . You can give these functions the name of a file, a URL (HTTP or FTP) or XML text that you have previously created or read from a file. If you are working with small to moderately sized XML files, it is easiest to use xmlInternalTreeParse() to first read the XML tree into memory.

#" doc = xmlInternalTreeParse("Install/Web/index.html.in") Then you can traverse the tree looking for the information you want and putting it into different forms. Many people find recursion confusing, and when coupled with the need for non-local variables and mutable state, a different approach can be welcome. Memory Management in the the XML Package.
