Description

### What would you like to happen?

Hello,

How about include a input xBase feature, such as in Pentaho Data Integration.
I have some files in format .dbf and I would like to use in Apache Hop.
Is it possible to include this feature one day?

Research direction

The issue identifies Apache Hop's Import component and .dbf/xBase files, but names no source file, test, or entry point. Start by locating how comparable input formats are implemented and determine the expected supported .dbf behavior; done means Apache Hop can import the requested xBase files.
