# Unbox class
<a name="aws-glue-api-crawler-pyspark-transforms-Unbox"></a>

Unboxes (reformats) a string field in a `DynamicFrame`.

## Example
<a name="pyspark-Unbox-example"></a>

We recommend that you use the [`DynamicFrame.unbox()`](aws-glue-api-crawler-pyspark-extensions-dynamic-frame.md#aws-glue-api-crawler-pyspark-extensions-dynamic-frame-unbox) method to unbox a field in a `DynamicFrame`. To view a code example, see [Example: Use unbox to unbox a string field into a struct](aws-glue-api-crawler-pyspark-extensions-dynamic-frame.md#pyspark-unbox-example).

Unboxes a string field in a `DynamicFrame`.
+ `frame` – The `DynamicFrame` in which to unbox a field. (required).
+ `path` – The full path to the `StringNode` to unbox (required).
+ `format` – A format specification (optional). This is used for an Amazon S3 or AWS Glue connection that supports multiple formats. For the formats that are supported, see [Data format options for inputs and outputs in AWS Glue for Spark](aws-glue-programming-etl-format.md).
+ `transformation_ctx` – A unique string that is used to identify state information (optional).
+ `info` – A string associated with errors in the transformation (optional).
+ `stageThreshold` – The maximum number of errors that can occur in the transformation before it errors out (optional). The default is zero.
+ `totalThreshold` – The maximum number of errors that can occur overall before processing errors out (optional). The default is zero.
+ `separator` – A separator token (optional).
+ `escaper` – An escape token (optional).
+ `skipFirst` – `True` if the first line of data should be skipped, or `False` if it should not be skipped (optional).
+ withSchema`` – A string that contains a schema for the data to be unboxed (optional). This should always be created using `StructType.json`.
+ `withHeader` – `True` if the data being unpacked includes a header, or `False` if not (optional).
