Yes, it can read XML, though not any format. It expects either an
element containing repeated elements which will go each into a row.
This repeating elements can either have named attributes or named
elements enclosed in it or a combination of both. It will fetch the
values through those names. It offers a limited number of configuration
attributes and those cover just those two possibilities. A frequently
used format is to have a header with field definitions and then the rows
in the body all with the same name with the value of some attribute
telling which field definition it corresponds to. That level of
indirection it cannot handle.
It does not need a PHP or anything but a web server to provide the
data. For example, one of the options is to use a plain text file.
Such a file could be exported from any spreadsheet as a static file in a
public location and the DataSource can read it.
