Welcome to simpletype Documentation

Simple data type system that let many data type systems talk to each other.

Background

In the complex world of data processing, defining multiple schemas for a single data structure is a common yet challenging task. Data engineers and analysts often find themselves caught in a web of repetitive schema definitions across various platforms and tools. This is where simpletype comes to the rescue.

The Problem

Consider a typical scenario: You’re working on a project to export data from Amazon DynamoDB to a Data Lake. For this seemingly straightforward task, you find yourself defining and maintaining multiple schemas:

• JSON Schema

• Pandas Schema

• Polars Schema

• Spark Schema

• AWS Glue Schema

• AWS DynamoDB Schema

Each of these schemas serves a crucial purpose in your data pipeline, but the process of creating and maintaining them is:

• Time-consuming

• Prone to errors

• Difficult to keep synchronized

The Solution

simpletype is a powerful Python library designed to eliminate the redundancy and potential errors in multi-schema environments. With simpletype, you can:

1. Define Once, Use Everywhere: Create a single, unified schema definition.

2. Automatic Generation: Let simpletype automatically generate schemas for all your required data processing systems.

3. Consistency Guaranteed: Ensure all your schemas remain in sync, reducing errors and inconsistencies.

4. Save Time and Effort: Focus on your data and analytics, not on repetitive schema definitions.

simpletype empowers data professionals to streamline their workflow, enhance productivity, and maintain data integrity across diverse data processing ecosystems.
