DataSources Explanation
What is a DataSource?
A datasource is a data source used to execute queries and retrieve information that will be displayed in form fields. For example, a datasource can perform an SQL or MongoDB query, or obtain data from a JavaScript function to a database to fetch specific information. This information can then be used to populate fields in a form.
