Packata
![]()
Packata is a standards-neutral .NET library for working with Data Package v2 and Open Data Contract Standard (ODCS) documents. It maps both formats to a shared model for data assets, schemas, metadata, and endpoints, with optional packages for reading and provisioning data.
About | Packages | Installing | Quickstart
About
Use the format-specific models when you need direct access to Data Package or ODCS concepts. Map either format to Packata.Core.Contracts.DataContract when you want readers, provisioners, and other integrations to work independently of the source document format.
Continuous integration builds:
Packages
| Package | Purpose |
|---|---|
Packata.Core |
Standards-neutral contracts for assets, schemas, endpoints, diagnostics, readers, and provisioners |
Packata.DataPackage |
Data Package v2 models, JSON/YAML serialization, validation, and canonical mapping |
Packata.OpenDataContract |
ODCS models, YAML serialization, validation, and canonical mapping |
Packata.ResourceReaders |
Access to delimited, Excel, Parquet, and database resources through IDataReader |
Packata.Storages |
Access to documents and resources on local, HTTP(S), S3, and Azure storage |
Packata.Provisioners |
Provisioning of canonical data contracts to relational platforms |
Packata targets .NET 8, .NET 9, and .NET 10.
Installing
Install the package for the document format you use:
dotnet add package Packata.DataPackage
dotnet add package Packata.OpenDataContract
Add Packata.ResourceReaders, Packata.Storages, or Packata.Provisioners when your application needs those capabilities. Format packages reference Packata.Core, so it does not need to be installed separately.
Quickstart
Load a Data Package descriptor and map it to the standards-neutral model:
using Packata.DataPackage;
using Packata.DataPackage.Mapping;
var package = new DataPackageFactory().LoadFromFile("datapackage.json");
var contract = package
.ToCanonicalContract()
.ReportDiagnostics(diagnostic =>
Console.Error.WriteLine($"{diagnostic.Severity}: {diagnostic.Message}"))
.RequireValue();
foreach (var asset in contract.Assets)
Console.WriteLine(asset.Name);
ODCS documents map to the same canonical model through the Packata.OpenDataContract.Mapping namespace. See MIGRATION.md for side-by-side mapping examples and guidance for upgrading from earlier Packata versions.
