When does it fit?
Best for developers who need configurable synthetic records in common file or code formats, or want to deploy and extend the downloadable application themselves. 1
Fit still depends on your mandatory requirements.
What should you check before choosing?
The public generator caps a generation at 500 rows; a registered account lifts that site limit subject to browser download capacity. Self-hosting requires Docker, Node.js 24, and pnpm. 1 · 2 · 3
What must your PoC prove?
Use a parent/child fixture, one invalid row and a fixed expected result. Check cleanup after failure, restore the configuration and repeat with pinned inputs. Unresolved requirements need a demonstration.
Acceptance plan, not a product test result. Execution scope and limits.
Deployment and license
Use the hosted browser generator or deploy the downloadable source using the project's Docker, Node.js, and pnpm requirements. 1 · 2 · 3
The downloadable application is GPL-3.0 according to the current project repository. A hosted-site account is separately offered for $25; no separate service license is stated. 1 · 2 · 3
Confirm the entitled version and operating requirements.
How you work with it
Browser-based data definitions, with downloadable source for a self-hosted generator and extensions. 1 · 2 · 3
Export does not establish compatibility with another runtime.
Documented capabilities
Documentation is not a measured benchmark. Unclear is missing evidence; the comparison matrix explains the gap.
Sources and scope
Sources can cover different releases; they do not establish measured performance.
