Jasper Reports Beginner needs simple Clarification

[busbus]

Jasper Reports Rookie here.

Am not going to ask you to teach me entire things. But to clear few simple doubts.

1. Is JRXml or XML the only input and the only way for Jasper Reports.

2. If Yes, then, is there any API to generate the JRXml or we can write out own JRXml following the general JRXml Schema/Template?

Thankyou
