    One way that i found is:

    1 - Create an enviroment

    2 - upload the the file spark-xml_2.12-0.17.0.jar

     

     

     

    Open your notebook and language choose spark(scala) and then place the code below:

    %%configure -f
    {"conf": {"spark.jars.packages": "com.databricks:spark-xml_2.12:0.16.0"}}

     

    IMPORTANT: Must be the first code in the session and you can use the environment WorkSpace Default, you don´t have to use the environment that you´ve created, i don´t know but worked.
     
    Then you can change your language to PySpark(Python) and read xml
     
    It takes from 2 to 3 minutes to execute.
     
    Let me know if you have any doubt.
     
    I hope works for everyone
     
    Cheers

Hi Joshrodgers123 

Could you please try to upload the .jar file in library management, and install it then use in notebook?

Please upload the .jar file here and try running the pyspark code.
Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
