FromSymbolicXML

converts a SymbolicXML expression expr to a more native format, if one is available.

Details and Options

To use FromSymbolicXML, you first need to load the XML Package using Needs["XML`"].
FromSymbolicXML is the inverse of ToSymbolicXML.
Given a SymbolicXML expression, FromSymbolicXML will attempt to interpret it.

Wolfram Language code: Needs["XML`"]

Create an ExpressionML file using Export:

Wolfram Language code: Export["example1", Notebook[{Cell["I am a test file", "Text"]}], "XML"]

Import this ExpressionML file as SymbolicXML:

Wolfram Language code: Import["example1", "SymbolicXML"]

Use the output as the argument for FromSymbolicXML to interpret the SymbolicXML as a notebook expression:

Wolfram Language code: FromSymbolicXML[%]

Wolfram Language code: Needs["XML`"]

Create a MathML file:

Wolfram Language code: Export["example2", x ^ 3, "XML"]

Wolfram Language code: !!example2

Import the file as SymbolicXML:

Wolfram Language code: Import["example2", "SymbolicXML"]

Use FromSymbolicXML to interpret the output as a box expression:

Wolfram Language code: FromSymbolicXML[%]
