I am trying to implement an integration with a third-party system to Insert Products into Salesforce. I have created the External Service, consumed the schema, and was also able to make a call to the web service through Flow Action and get the return(200) by debugging the flow.

The issue I have is that the return is either in JSON or XML format with multiple Products. Do Salesforce flows have the capability to get the XML/JSON data, somehow parse it, and Insert it into the Product2 object? Or do I need to implement Apex XML parser and get rid of the flow altogether?

I would like a point-and-click solution but I am not sure if flows can handle this.

Yes, you can directly consume the contents of the service. This Help article tells you exactly how to do it. In summary, though, you create a Apex-Defined Variable using the External Service as the data type, then use an Assignment operation to create the records in the flow, and finally commit those changes using a Create Records or Update Records element. You should be able to do this completely without a single line of code, which is one of the primary benefits of using External Services.
