Are You My Data?
![codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/Mikuana/rumydata/branch/main/graph/badge.svg)
This python package provides a set of tools to solve several of the major challenges
that arise in the transmission of data. These tools attempt to solve four main
problems:
- defining exactly what your data should be
- communicating that definition to others (so they can send you data)
- validating the data that you receive
- not disclosing the data on accident
These problems are solved with the following feature sets in this package:
- an expressive, extensible set of classes to define a data set
- technical documentation generators, based upon the definition
- data validation methods, based upon the definition
- sanitized error messages which state what the data should be, but not what
it actually is (i.e. what was expected, not what was received)
