Audience
Data engineers and governance teams that need an open source visual, form-based, and YAML editor to create, validate, and test ODCS data contracts
About Data Contract Editor
Data Contract Editor is a web-based editor for creating and managing data contracts using the Open Data Contract Standard. It makes creating, editing, viewing, and validating data contracts simple and accessible, especially when writing YAML directly is not intuitive. The editor supports ODCS, including support for v3.1.0, and gives users multiple ways to work with the same contract; a Visual Editor for defining data models and relationships through a visual interface, a Form Editor for guided input across standard data contract properties, and a YAML Editor for editing contracts directly in YAML with code completion. It also includes a live HTML preview, instant validation feedback, linting, diff view, and testing capabilities to check whether data contracts match actual data products. Users can open it directly as a web application, start it locally with npx datacontract-editor, edit a specific data contract file, or run it in a Docker container.
