Import XML data in .NET, Java and other programming languages
EasyXLS™ library allows you to import data from XML file or from XML string.
The methods that import XML data accept any XML schema, but for the best result, a schema similar with EasyXLS.xsd should be used. It is preferable that the schema contain data in a table format simulating the rows and columns, such as the mentioned schema or such as an HTML table and CDATA tag. The schema should also mention EasyXLS word. The tags like table, row and data can be named differently, but the table alike format is important.

Import data from XML string
EasyXLS library allows importing data from XML strings using ExcelWorksheet.easy_insertXMLFromString method. The above code sample shows how to achieve this goal.
Import data from XML file
EasyXLS library allows importing data from XML file using ExcelWorksheet.easy_insertXMLFromFile method similarly, as presented in the above code sample.
