  • Native Support for JSON Data - Source data from JSON files, web services and REST API using the new built in JSON data provider. You can also define a JSON Schema to make referencing the columns in your report design user friendly. The JSON schema can also be used to validate the datasource at runtime.

The flexible CSV parsing wizard helps configure the data provider for text identifiers, delimiters and a host of other options.

You can also use Excel as an intermediary file for importing your report layouts from other report design tools.
