Guides
Choose a guide for the task you want to complete. Each explains when to use the operation, how to run it, and what to expect from the result.
- Validate, inspect, diff and export contracts: check a descriptor, explore its contents, review changes, or export a record schema.
- Read data and infer schemas: preview records and use the data to suggest field definitions.
- Configure storage and readers: choose a supported source and add the readers your .NET application needs.
- Export a CSV dialect: share a CSV endpoint’s parsing settings with another tool.
- Connect to databases: configure connectors and runtime credentials for preview, inference and .NET applications.
- Plan and provision a database: review generated SQL, deploy a schema and load data through the .NET library.
CLI and .NET examples are identified separately. Provisioning is currently available through .NET; its CLI command is planned.
Use the reference for every command option and API entry point, or read the concepts for the shared contract model and compatibility rules.
