transporting data fast and in a resilient fashion is great. but unless you are just a pipe it’s important to understand the data you are handling.
layline.io distinguishes between
a major advantage of layline.io is its ability to interpret the data which it transports. at the heart of this capability is a configurable data parsing engine. the configuration is done by way of a proprietary configuration language specific to the purpose.
the web-based configuration center provides the interface to configure and test the data format setup. once configured, the data format configuration can be shared and reused in other projects and workflows.
some examples of achievable configurations are:
This allows to accommodate pretty much any standard and proprietary structured format on earth by configuration only.
static data formats complement the configurable ones. we define static data formats as such which are highly standardized and which do not require any major adaptability. typical examples are document format such as .docx or .xlsx and many more. for these we provide static parsers which only allow for minimal adaptation. many of these are based on the apache tika collection of data parsers.
