Show data from XML attached to page

With ConfiDoc you can easily show the data from XML, JSON, CSV, RSS and SQL sources using the same approach an methods.

The structure of the XML is as follows:

<users>
	<user>
		<name>Sam Smith</name>
		<email>ss@domain.com</email>
	</user>
	<user>
		<name>John Doe</name>
		<email>jd@domain.com</email>
	</user>
</users>

We will show the data in a Table (using TableView macro) and then as a bulleted list (using ListView macro)

1. Showing as Table
   
   

   Will add a TableView macro
   

   
   A choose the attachment to be used as source:
   
   
   We also specify a root element to use, so our "user" nodes will be used as an array of nodes

   
   Then we add 2 fields 
   
   Referencing Fields: name and email

   
   End result (Live view using ConfiDoc TableView)

   Name	Email
   Sam Smith	ss@domain.com
   John Doe	jd@domain.com

2. Showing the same dataset as bulleted list using ListView macro

   
   We also set the root element to be "users.user" in the ListView

   

   And the final config looks like:

   
   
   End result (Live view using ConfiDoc ListView macro)

   - Sam Smith ss@domain.com

   - John Doe jd@domain.com

   
   Here you have learnt how easy it is to show the data with ConfiDoc. There are more macros to show the data at your service: PlainView and CardView. Using those macros is very similar to what you have seen in this tutorial. With one exception - PlainView operates on raw data and expects you to use [entry.FIELD_NAME] notation to reference fields values

   You can show the data from files attached to other pages, as long as the user has an access to the page where the attachment is stored
