Read fisheries XML data format file. Currently supports IMR Biotic version 1 until 3, IMR Echosounder version 1, and IMR Landing version 2 formats at the moment. Streaming XML pull parser can be used to avoid loading the whole XML into memory and it supports ZIP file reading. Please note that the XML file inside the zip file should be using the same name as the zip file itself (e.g. test.xml inside test.zip).
readXmlFile(
xmlFilePath,
stream = TRUE,
useXsd = NULL,
usePrefix = NULL,
verbose = FALSE
)full path to the XML file to be read.
a streaming XML pull parser is used if this is set to TRUE. An XML DOM parser is used if this is set to FALSE. Default to TRUE.
Specify an xsd object to use. Default to NULL, in which case auto-detection is attempted. Valid options are the schemas listed in names(RstoxData::xsdObjects), but without the suffix ".xsd".
Manually specify a namespace prefix. Default to NULL.
Show verbose output. Default to FALSE.
