This backend project provides the structured data that powers the interactive dataset viewer found on Hugging Face dataset pages. It takes in large datasets hosted on the Hub and serves them in a browsable, filterable, and searchable format, complete with basic statistics. It's used by anyone who wants to quickly inspect the contents of a machine learning dataset on Hugging Face without downloading it.

851 stars. Actively maintained with 9 commits in the last 30 days.

Use this if you are a developer looking to contribute to the underlying service that displays datasets on Hugging Face.

Not ideal if you are an end-user simply viewing datasets; the user-facing viewer itself is not open-source.
