Here is the list of all major datatypes to date with usage examples.
Some older examples may have a bit different attribute, please ignore and use as here.

Datatypes example:

example DX:

<homepage ex_attr=”attr val”>
<ex__data__subxml>sub node text</ex__data__subxml>
  <ex__data>
    <somepath>
      <somepath2 someattr="xpath and attribute text">
        xpath and value text
      </somepath2>
    </somepath>
  </ex__data>
<homepage>

usage in CX:

	datatype=”static” dataval=”actual value”

value hardcoded in CX (text – ”actual value”)

	datatype=”attr” dataattr=”ex_attr”

value located at the attribute of the main tag (text – ”attr val”)

	datatype=” subxml” subname=”ex__data__subxml”

sub xml tag with specified name
(xml tag – <ex__data__subxml>sub node text</ex__data__subxml>)

	datatype=” subxmlval” subname=”ex__data__subxml”

value of sub xml tag with specified name (text – ”sub node text”)

	datatype="xpath" dataxpath="/*/ex__data/somepath/somepath2"

sub xml tag with specified Xpath
(xml tag – <somepath2 someattr=”xpath and attribute text”>xpath and value text</somepath2>)

	datatype="xpathNval" dataxpath="/*/ex__data/somepath/somepath2"

value of sub xml tag with specified Xpath (text – ” xpath and value text”)

	datatype="xpathNattr" dataxpath="/*/ex__data/somepath/somepath2" dataattr="someattr"

value of sub xml tag with specified Xpath (text – ” xpath and attribute text”)

<el          …. … …   datatype="concat”          >
  <datavals>
    <d	datatype=” subxmlval”  subname=”ex__data__subxml”	/>
    <d	datatype=”static”		dataval=” --- :: --- ”		/>
    <d	datatype=”attr”			dataattr=”ex_attr”			/>
  </datavals>
</el>

concatenated values (text – ”sub node text — :: — attr val”)
