+## Reading file contents into memory
+
+Accepts only .xml files up to a size of 20MB. You can read in the contents of the `File` object into memory. The ``onProcessUpload`` prop should retrieve the file Blob from the passed ``fileData`` param and pass it into a file reader.
+
+Note that `Dropzone` does not handle unexpected errors that might happen in your function, they should be handled by the ``handleProcessUpload`` method.

+```jsx live
+() => {
+  const [text, setText] = useState("");
+
+  async function handleProcessUpload({
+    fileData, requestConfig, handleError
+  }) {
+    const blob = fileData.get('file');
+    const reader = new FileReader();
+    reader.readAsDataURL(blob);
+    reader.onloadend = function() {
+      const base64data = reader.result.split(',')[1];                
+      console.log(atob(base64data));
