Manage your exposed data - CA Technologies

Enter the Date Explorer

The Data Explorer is a self-contained service that you use to test, prototype, and perform back-office data maintenance to your API. Data Explorer creates an executable and running HTML5/JavaScript multi-table user interface (UI) to the underlying data. Data Explorer creates this UI using the REST APIs for your base tables. Data Explorer runs on desktop and tablet browsers.

Efficient interaction with your application backend

The Data Explorer is a browser-based UI for interacting with your application backend. It’s dynamically created in HTML5 and JavaScript, so it’s available cross-platform and can be viewed on any device.

Understanding your data

The Data Explorer is intelligent enough to understand relationships between exposed data interfaces and automatically create joins across tables, master lists and detailed drill-downs, tabbed interfaces, updateable grids for child data, and rich filtering and sorting capabilities.

More importantly, it can create those relationships in a Managed API, by defining your application in the Data Explorer interface itself.

Enabling a rich experience

The Data Explorer is customizable and skinnable, so you can make it match your branding and styles, choose fields to include or hide, and modify content types for a richer experience.

For instance, if you’re exploring information about an employee or a customer, you can cross-reference a photo URL to include a picture of the person in their detail page; all of that’s done through a graphical UI without having to write HTML or Javascript code.

Your app is your IDE

Data Explorer is a completely interactive interface, providing full read-write capabilities on every screen, all while maintaining the logic and relationships defined in the API Creator. So you can actually change data within your application while you’re building your application. It’s that simple.
