Why is separating the design from the generation powerful?

One of Overseed's guiding principles is the separation of design and generation.

First, we design the shape and behavior of our data. Then, we can generate the data.

Separation is powerful because we can convert our designs (schemas) into a JSON Stream, CSV File, Database Table(s), or HTTP Webhook without interfering with our data structures.

Streams

Use a stream to mimic a device, service, or system that pulls data.

Webhooks

Use a webhook to mimic a device, service, or system that pushes data.

Files

Use a file to mimic data from a database table, storage service, or batch process.
