Loading custom file as datatable

I want to create datatable not from csv but from some other format, for example XML. I need it because I have text columns and they might contain commas. Of course I can replace commas with something like “\comma” but then I would need to replace them back when I want to use text.
So, I want to make some kind of custom importer (as plugin?) to import xml to datatable. Just as there speedtree plugin or substance plugin. How can I do it?
Or are there some better ways? Of course I want to find the most easy solution possible.

UPD.
Okay, now I found out that I can use “” in csv to use commas. So now I can import any csv file. But still, It would be very good to know how to implement custom import of files.

Here is a step by step tutorial :slight_smile:
