Transform Your Data Management Tasks with DFRNT YAML Editing for TerminusDB
TerminusDB is a graph database technology that provides a platform for managing structured data, with features including powerful query tools and advanced versioning capabilities. However, many users find it challenging to author schema and content in the JSON format.
That's where the new YAML support in DFRNT comes in. A new YAML content editor that is the perfect middle ground between JSON and the already-existing easy to use forms-based records and schema editing. It's an alternative that enables greater flexibility in working with TerminusDB data products for data-savvy users.
Benefits of the DFRNT YAML Support for Structured Content Editing
In DFRNT we further improved the innovative TerminusDB content editor we offer, which now offers even more benefits for those working with structured data.
A key advantages is with the flexibility it provides are in terms of working with schema and content input. With DFRNT, users can switch between forms-based, YAML, and JSON input as required, making it easier to author schema and content in a way that suit your preferences and needs.
For instance, while YAML is a data format that most humans have a relatively high chance of understanding, JSON can be challenging to comprehend, especially for those without significant experience in coding. Therefore, the ability to switch between these input options enables users to work more efficiently, regardless of their coding knowledge.
Author the data correctly and transform it as needed
Another advantage of DFRNT is that it makes it easy to author a variety of content types natively, including Markdown and MDX of course. These are popular formats for web authoring, and the new YAML support makes it easier to edit such records using the input format you prefer.
The editor also features highlighting, formatting support, Visual Studio Code key bindings that make it easy to navigate and manipulate your data, and the content editors are available even on mobile devices.
DFRNT also offers a range of TerminusDB schema templates you can load on demand, specifically designed for CMS and knowledge graph usage. These templates can help you build schema structures quickly and easily, reducing the time and effort required to manage large amounts of information within a data product or knowledge graph.

Users switch seamlessly between visualisations of TerminusDB content in the canvas to gain an in-depth understanding of the data structure, and the forms-based, JSON and YAML editor to tweak both content and schema as needed.
