# XML Connector

## Intro

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple, and flexible text format. The Domo XML connector enables you to cut and paste from your XML file into a text box and import your XML data as a new Domo data source. More advanced XML uploads can be made using the Domo XML Advanced connector. To learn more about the XML API, visit their page ([https://XML.com/docs/API\_Reference/index.html](https://sendgrid.com/docs/API_Reference/index.html "https://sendgrid.com/docs/API_Reference/index.html") ).

You can connect to your XML account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the XML connector user interface. To add DataSets, set update schedules, and edit DataSet information, see [Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector](https://domo-support.domo.com/s/article/360042926274?language=en_US "Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector").

## Prerequisites

No prerequisites are required to connect to your XML account and create a DataSet.

## Connecting to Your XML Account

This section enumerates the options in the **Credentials** and **Details** panes on the XML Connector page. The components of the other panes on this page, **Scheduling**, and **Name & Describe Your DataSet**, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in great detail in [Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector](https://domo-support.domo.com/s/article/360042926274?language=en_US "Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector").

## Credentials Pane

No authentication is required for the XML connector.
