AppML Explained:
<script src="https://www.w3schools.com/appml/2.0.3/appml.js"> adds AppML to your page.
appml-data="customers.js" connects AppML data (customers.js) to an HTML element (<table>).
In this case we have used a JSON file: customers.js
appml-repeat="records" repeats an HTML element (<tr>) for each item (records) in a data object.
The {{ }} brackets are placeholders for AppML data.
