Will In a sense GnuCash does import xml as its main datafile is stored as an xml file if you are not using the database backends. XML is possibly a bit too wordy for general use as you have two tags in addition to the data for each piece of data. you cannot use random tags - the program has to know how to interpret the tags. GnuCash also does import OFX and QFX files which are XML files using a set of tags defined in the OFX specification for the exchange of finacial data. You could always format data for import as OFX but it has a lot of extraneous data identifying the sourceof the data and purpose that has to be supplied. CSV is generlly far easierto setup and import.
