Handling data formats


Data comes in all types of forms. We will examine the more commonly used formats and show how they can be extracted from various data sources. Before we can clean data it needs to be extracted from a data source such as a file. In this section, we will build upon the introduction to data formats found in Chapter 2, Data Acquisition, and show how to extract all or part of a dataset. For example, from an HTML page we may want to extract only the text without markup. Or perhaps we are only interested in its figures.

 

These data formats can be quite complex. The intent of this section is to illustrate the basic techniques commonly used with that data format. Full treatment of a specific data format is beyond the scope of this book. Specifically, we will introduce how the following data formats can be processed from Java:

  • CSV data
  • Spreadsheets
  • Portable Document Format, or PDF files
  • JavaScript Object Notation, or JSON files

There are many other file types not addressed here. For...
