Data Resource - Type Attribute

About

type is a data resource attribute that defines at a high-level, the structure of the data resource.

We follow the media type convention.

Usage

With the print, head and tail data command, you can specify the type (ie media type with the --type option.

This is handy when you want to see the first lines of a document such as json or xml because by default, Tabulify treats one document as one line.

Example: 

tabli data head --type text xml/relation.xml@howto

Example

With the tabli data info command, we can see that a csv file has the type text/csv. 

tabli data info characters.csv@howto
