Classes for handling data structures/sources
The following data types/hierarchy is supported:

You can map any of these data sets to (anychart.data.View), and then work with it using anychart.data.Iterator iterator.

Functions Overview

buildMapping()Creates data mapping.
loadCsvFile()Loads the CSV file.
loadGoogleSpreadsheet()Loads the Google Spreadsheets.
loadJsonFile()Loads the JSON file.
loadXmlFile()Loads the XML file.
mapAsTable()Maps passed data as an array of mappings.
parseHtmlTable()Parses HTML table to table data.
parseText()Text parsing.
set()Return instance of class anychart.data.Set.
table()Creates and returns new instance of data table.
tree()Creates and returns new instance of data tree.
