If {data 'xxx'} is used, then the data will not be processed before it is stored in the data store,
all above examples use it in this way.
If {/data 'xxx'} is used, then the data will be processed before it is stored in the data store.
Below a crazy example how this can be used:
- first there is a JSON data definition
- then this JSON data is converted to CSV data
- then this CSV data is converted to XML data
- then this XML data is converted to YAML data
- then this YAML data is used to show a HTML table.
