Congrats on releasing this. I had a quick look at the site and the manual and couldn't see a list of file formats that can be used. For example can I use it with JSON or XML files?

Not yet. Currently it can read delimited text (e.g. CSV) and XLS(X)* and write delimited text. But I do plan to add other input/output formats, depending on feedback.

I need to think a bit about how to flatten an XML/JSON doc into a table and then turn it back into an XML/JSON doc.

(*XLS(X) output currently only works on Windows, because it uses ActiveX. But I plan to have XLS(X) input/output on Windows and Mac at some point.)

Thanks. An FAQ would be useful with info like this. It's not difficult to flatten JSON but turning into a table is another issue altogether.
