3. Core concepts

Databridge is built around the concepts of resource descriptors, data adapters and schema mappings.

Resource Descriptors

A resource descriptor defines how to access a data source that you want to import.

Data Adapters

The job of a data adapter is to load the data from a data source defined by the reesource descriptor and present it as a sequence of rows to be imported. Adapters for non-tabular formats (such as JSON) automatically transform their native record representation into a row-based one.

Schema Mappings

Schema mappings define how the data from an adapter should be mapped to nodes and relationships in the graph.
