About Cantabular

This documentation is for Cantabular version 10.7.5.

Cantabular is a suite of software tools for automated data publishing. It helps organisations publish more data, faster through its easy-to-use, accessible user interface and powerful GraphQL API.

Key features

Some notable features of Cantabular include:

  • Build custom tables from microdata: allows users to build their own cross-tabulations direct from microdata, with built-in disclosure control protections.

  • Serve pre-computed tables: use Cantabular to serve pre-built tables, with the same user interface for filtering and pivoting the data.

  • Integrate with reference metadata: use Cantabular’s metadata service to supplement data with reference metadata, which can then be surfaced in Cantabular’s user interface and Excel downloads.

  • Multiple language support: Cantabular can work with data in multiple languages, allowing users to select the best language for them in its user interface, data downloads and API.

  • Outputs generated on-demand: Cantabular includes fast generation of Excel and CSV downloads, created on-demand from the underlying data and metadata. No manual creation of outputs is required, and outputs are always up-to-date.

  • GraphQL API: Cantabular’s GraphQL API allows users to build their own applications on top of Cantabular, and to integrate Cantabular with other systems.
