SAS XML Mapper

SAS XML Mapper is a graphical user interface (GUI) tool provided by SAS that allows you to create mappings between XML documents and SAS tables or data sets. It simplifies the process of extracting data from XML documents and loading it into SAS for further analysis.

SAS XML Mapper is included with SAS software and can be accessed through the SAS Integrated Development Environment (IDE) or from the command line. It is available for use on Windows, UNIX, and z/OS operating systems.

SAS XML Mapper provides features such as drag-and-drop mapping, automatic schema inference, visual editing of XML structures, support for multiple XML formats (including complex nested structures), and validation against Document Type Definitions (DTDs) or XML Schema Definitions (XSDs).

Yes, SAS XML Mapper allows you to generate SAS code based on your XML mappings. This code can be used to automate the extraction and transformation of XML data into SAS data sets or tables.

SAS XML Mapper employs an optimized parsing engine that efficiently handles large XML files. It supports streaming processing, which allows it to read and process XML documents in chunks rather than loading the entire file into memory at once.

Yes, you can import existing XML schemas (XSDs) or Document Type Definitions (DTDs) into SAS XML Mapper. This allows you to utilize the predefined structure and data types defined in these schema files for your mappings.

Yes, SAS XML Mapper is designed to be compatible with various versions of SAS. However, there might be some differences in functionality and supported features based on the SAS version you are using.

Yes, SAS XML Mapper supports multiple languages, including English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. You can switch the interface language within the tool preferences.

Yes, SAS XML Mapper includes error handling and validation features to help you identify and resolve issues with your XML mappings. It provides detailed error messages and supports validation against DTDs or XSDs to ensure the correctness of your mappings.

Yes, SAS provides comprehensive documentation for XML Mapper, including user guides and reference materials. You can find the documentation on the official SAS website or through the SAS software interface.
