RX pin of ESP8266

Hi, a very noob question but bare with me I am really new to this.
I am connecting my Xbee transceiver directly to my ESP8266 module. This Xbee will be sending analog values to my ESP8266 through RX pin. I just want to know if:

  1. RX pin can read these analog values or the values can be converted to digital or no need?
  2. How will the ESP 8266 be able to read any new arrived data by Xbee? Can I use serial.read? Note that I will be displaying these values on my web page (HTML).

I don't know anything about Xbee. I do know about the ESP8266. By RX pin which one do you mean? Depending how you program it and what you mean there are at least 2 pins you might be taking about.

What do you mean by analogue values and converting them to digital? Anything received on the Rx pins is digital.

Which ESP8266 based board are you using?

To bare with is not allowed.
Bear only, please.
