Hello,<br><br>To facilitate prototyping in the sandbox, I was thinking it would be helpful to have documented methods of doing the following:<br><br>* Defining types, topics and bases in a file format that can be used by the libraries, e.g. Python. Perhaps this could be one of the 2 data dump formats or something closer to the data structures used when programming.<br>
<br>* Export functionality to grab a set of entries defined by various criteria (creator, types linked to a base, etc) and dump to that format.<br><br>* Import functionality to push all entries from the format into the database.<br>
<br>These could then be used to experiment with the sandbox even though it gets wiped once a week.<br><br>Currently there seems to be the data dumps in 2 formats and then the Python API that returns results as Python data structures. Has there been any discussion to provide something in between, roughly along the lines I describe above? If not I would be happy to discuss further.<br>
<br>cheers<br><br>paul<br>
