====== Data Resource - Xml File ======


===== About =====
An ''xml'' is a [[text|text file]] that shows an ''XML'' format.

''XML'' files can be loaded into a [[docs:system:database|database]] for further processing.

===== Howto =====
<related pattern="howto:*" />

===== Attributes =====

<note tip>
Because a ''xml'' file is a [[text|text file]], you can also set [[text#attributes|text attributes]]
</note>


===== Creation =====
You can create XML file with the [[docs:templating:templating|templating module]].

===== Loading =====
Tabulify supports the loading of XML file into a database. See [[howto:database:xml]]
===== How to see the first lines =====
By default, ''Tabulify'' treats one XML document as one record (line). By printing it, you would see then always the whole document.

If you want to see the first text lines of a document, you need to set the [[type|type]] to [[text|text]].

Example:
<unit>
<code bash>
tabli data head --type text xml/relation.xml@howto
</code>
<console>
The first 10 rows of the data resource (xml\relation.xml@howto):
