Synthetic Data Generation from JSON Schemas

Authors: Hugo André Coelho Cardoso and José Carlos Ramalho

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 104, 11th Symposium on Languages, Applications and Technologies (SLATE 2022)

Abstract
This document describes the steps taken in the development of DataGen From Schemas. This new version of DataGen is an application that makes it possible to automatically generate representative synthetic datasets from JSON and XML schemas, in order to facilitate tasks such as the thorough testing of software applications and scientific endeavors in relevant areas, namely Data Science. This paper focuses solely on the JSON Schema component of the application. DataGen’s prior version is an online open-source application that allows the quick prototyping of datasets through its own Domain Specific Language (DSL) of specification of data models. DataGen is able to parse these models and generate synthetic datasets according to the structural and semantic restrictions stipulated, automating the whole process of data generation with spontaneous values created in runtime and/or from a library of support datasets. The objective of this new product, DataGen From Schemas, is to expand DataGen’s use cases and raise the datasets specification’s abstraction level, making it possible to generate synthetic datasets directly from schemas. This new platform builds upon its prior version and acts as its complement, operating jointly and sharing the same data layer, in order to assure the compatibility of both platforms and the portability of the created DSL models between them. Its purpose is to parse schema files and generate corresponding DSL models, effectively translating the JSON specification to a DataGen model, then using the original application as a middleware to generate the final datasets.

DataGen: JSON/XML Dataset Generator

Authors: Filipa Alves dos Santos, Hugo André Coelho Cardoso, João da Cunha e Costa, Válter Ferreira Picas Carvalho, and José Carlos Ramalho

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 94, 10th Symposium on Languages, Applications and Technologies (SLATE 2021)

Abstract
In this document we describe the steps towards DataGen implementation. DataGen is a versatile and powerful tool that allows for quick prototyping and testing of software applications, since currently too few solutions offer both the complexity and scalability necessary to generate adequate datasets in order to feed a data API or a more complex APP enabling those applications testing with appropriate data volume and data complexity. DataGen core is a Domain Specific Language (DSL) that was created to specify datasets. This language suffered several updates: repeating fields (with no limit), fuzzy fields (statistically generated), lists, highorder functions over lists, custom made transformation functions. The final result is a complex algebra that allows the generation of very complex datasets coping with very complex requirements. Throughout the paper we will give several examples of the possibilities. After generating a dataset DataGen gives the user the possibility to generate a RESTFull data API with that dataset, creating a running prototype. This solution has already been used in real life cases, described with more detail throughout the paper, in which it was able to create the intended datasets successfully. These allowed the application’s performance to be tested and for the right adjustments to be made. The tool is currently being deployed for general use.
