Step 3: Add Data Source and Data Band
To add data to your report, you need to create a data source and a data band. A data source is an object that connects your report to an external data source, such as a database, an XML file, a JSON file, etc. A data band is an object that displays data from a data source in your report.
In this example, we will use a sample JSON file as our data source. The file contains some sales data for different products and regions.
