This example shows how to render the report using the external XML data. First, you need to the create report object of the StiReport type, then load the report template file by calling the loadFile() method.

As data storage, you can use the DataSet object. This object contains the data tables and rows needed for the report. To load XML data from file into DataSet, you can use the readXmlSchemaFile() and readXmlFile() methods. There is the regData() methodto register a data in the report. This method receives a data source name, data source alias and data object such as a DataSet:
<script type="text/javascript">
	// Create a new report instance
	var report = new Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport();
	// Load report from url
	report.loadFile("../reports/SimpleList.mrt");

	// Create new DataSet object
	var dataSet = new Stimulsoft.System.Data.DataSet("Demo");
	// Load XML Shema file from specified URL to the DataSet object
	dataSet.readXmlSchemaFile("../reports/Demo.xsd");
	// Load XML data file from specified URL to the DataSet object
	dataSet.readXmlFile("../reports/Demo.xml");
	// Remove all connections from the report template
	report.dictionary.databases.clear();
	// Register DataSet object
	report.regData("Demo", "Demo", dataSet);
	// Render report with registered data
	report.renderAsync(function () {
		document.write("Complete.<br>");
		document.write("Rendered pages count: " + report.renderedPages.count);
	});
</script>
