SDK Overview

Use the SDK when you want to extend the generated dataset itself.

Good reasons to use the SDK

• add synthetic records or realism overlays
• generate additional enterprise attributes tied to real entities
• enrich the world with new data domains
• introduce scenario-aware variation without changing core generation code

Not a good reason to use the SDK

Do not use the DataGen plugin ecosystem to:

• translate DataGen output into another product’s import format
• call downstream system ingestion APIs
• tailor output for one consumer’s internal contract

Those are adapter or bridge responsibilities, not DataGen plugin responsibilities.
