Frictionless Data

Frictionless is a comprehensive suite of tools designed to simplify data and metadata management. It makes it easy for users to package, transform and access data, ideal for cleansing or format conversion operations. In addition, it allows efficient storage of data in systems such as SQL databases, which significantly improves accessibility and efficiency in the management of large volumes of information. The suite is especially useful in environments where data clarity, usability, and speed of access are critical to the success of data research and development projects.
Frictionlessdata solves the problem of complexity in data management by offering a comprehensive solution that makes it easy to package, transform and access data and metadata. This capability is essential in environments that handle large volumes of information, promoting clarity and ease of use to improve productivity and data-driven decision making.
Provides JSON Schema representations of data specifications. Stores source data for specifications in .json and YAML files. Offers a build.js script to build and normalize specifications. Covers topics like metadata, data science, schema, CSV, and validation.
Developed with JavaScript, Vue, and Stylus. Open source under the Unlicense, promoting data openness and reuse.
