To send XML data to Google BigQuery using Node.js, you will need to use the BigQuery API.

Here’s an example of how you can do this:

  • First, you will need to set up a project in the Google Cloud Console and enable the BigQuery API.

  • Install the Google Cloud client library for Node.js by running the following command:

npm install @google-cloud/bigquery
  • Import the BigQuery client and authenticate your application by creating a JSON key file and setting the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable:
const {BigQuery} = require('@google-cloud/bigquery');
const bigquery = new BigQuery();
  • Next, you can create a dataset and table in BigQuery to hold the XML data. You can do this using the createDataset and createTable methods of the BigQuery client:
async function createDatasetAndTable() {
  // Create a dataset
  const dataset = bigquery.dataset('xml_dataset');
  await dataset.create();

  // Create a table in the dataset
  const table = dataset.table('xml_table');
  await table.create({
    schema: 'xml:string',
  });
}
  • To insert the XML data into the table, you can use the insert method of the Table object:
async function insertXMLData(xml) {
  const rows = ;
  const options = {
    raw: true,
  };

  const  = await table.insert(rows, options);
  if (insertErrors) {
    insertErrors.forEach(console.error);
  }
}

That’s it! You should now be able to send XML data to Google BigQuery using Node.js and the BigQuery API.
