Loading data using XML files

In the previous recipe, we created the new book record with the external identifier book_cookbook. In this recipe, we will add a different type of data from the XML file. We'll add a book and an author as demonstration data. We'll also add a well-known publisher as normal data in our module.

How to do it...

Follow the given steps to create two data XML files and link them in your __manifest__.py file:

1. Add a file called data/demo.xml to your manifest, in the demo section:

       'demo': [ 
           'data/demo.xml', 
       ],

2. Add the following content to this file:

   <odoo> 
       <record id="author_pga" model="res.partner">
           <field name="name">Parth Gajjar</field>
       </record>
      ...
