Visual ETL

Understand how DataLensia simplifies the Extract, Transform, and Load process through a visual interface.

Last updated:

ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) is the foundation of data engineering. DataLensia brings this power to your browser with a visual-first approach โ€” no code required.

๐Ÿ“ค Extract

Data can be extracted from multiple sources:

  • Local Files: JSON, CSV, NDJSON โ€” drag and drop into any tool.
  • Static Input: Paste raw JSON strings directly into the editor for quick processing.
  • URL: Fetch data directly from a web link (HTTP/HTTPS or file URL).
  • Remote APIs: Fetch data directly from REST endpoints using the API Fetch Component.

Data Upload

๐Ÿ”„ Transform

This is where the magic happens. Using the Transform Builder, you can:

  • Map Fields: Rename and restructure objects visually.
  • Use Drag-and-Drop: Build mappings quickly by dragging fields from your source tree into target slots.
  • Cast Types: Convert strings to numbers or booleans.
  • Cleanse: Trim whitespace, handle nulls, and apply regex patterns.
  • See Live Preview: Preview your transformed data instantly as you change mappings and operations.
  • Stay Private: Transformations run in the browser, so your raw data never needs to leave your device.

๐Ÿ“ฅ Load

The final step is getting your data where it needs to go:

  • Export: Download as CSV, SQL, XML, YAML, or code using the Convert Tool.
  • Mock API: Turn your result into a live, shareable endpoint using the Mock API.
  • Code: Generate TypeScript interfaces or JavaScript transformation logic directly from your data.
