Metamock

Features

• Generate synthetic data from a Datadoc metadata document.
• Column data types will correspond with those specified in the metadata.
• Where Statistics Norway's classification system Klass is referenced, data will be generated from the codes.
• Choose the output file format from json, csv or parquet.
• Placeholder data is used where nothing more specific can be found in the metadata.
