This is actually related to my previous question about parsing JSON insofar as I'm now looking at the same data in XML format rather than JSON. But I think this may be a data acquisition issue, so new topic! w00t!
I'm looking at the same data as before, now with 100% more XML! XML Source is here:
http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/api/data/mechs
When I point a browser at that URL, it complains that there's no associated style sheet. Chrome specifically says "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below." Fine, but that tells me I have an otherwise well-formed XML document.
When I point Alteryx at this data source, whether live on the web or a downloaded copy, the XML Parser tool complains that there is no valid XML to parse. And, in fact, when I look at the payload, I see a whole bunch of key value pairs in a really long string. So I think I must be doing something wrong in the data acquisition process. I just don't know what. Is there some pre-processing I should do before feeding this to the XML parser? Perhaps I just don't understand XML as well as I think I do.
Workflow attached.
