The following code adds a simple TreeView to your page:

        dataSource: [{
            id: '1',
            text: 'Fruits',
            expanded: true,
            items: [
                { id: '1_1', text: 'Apples' },
                { id: '1_2', text: 'Oranges' }
            ]
        }, {

Note that the data source in the code above has a hierarchical structure, however, it also supports data sources with a plain structure. See the Use Hierarchical Data and Use Plain Data articles to learn how you can customize hierarchical and plain data sources.
