Data Source Introspector

The data source introspector project is a simple, effective and powerful open source repository of code that allows developers to instantly get a deep understanding of their data's schema agnostic to the source!

Introspection is the ability of a program to examine the type or properties of an object.
‍
The data source introspector is maintained by the Bracket team with contributions made by general developer community.

When you use this repository, you get the following details for a given table or collection of data for each field:

- field's type
- probability of it being this type (for NoSQL) db's
- number of records that match this type based on the sample
- the probabily that the field will be null based on the sample
- the given "bracket type"

Bracket supports a number of data sources including postgres, airtable, etc. and we continue to add more!
