Overview - Taxi - Taxi docs
Taxi describes data semantically, which allows powerful tooling to discover and map data based on it's meaning, rather than the name of a field.
Taxi allows you to be really expressive about what the meaning is of data returned from an API. By describing the meaning of our data, we can start to make data interchangeable.
Those Strings now have a little more meaning. And look - we now know that Invoice.customerId and Customer.id describe the same piece of information - a CustomerId.
By building out this set of terms - we create a Taxonomy of interchangeable types. This allows us to better document how data is intended to be used. Tooling such as Vyne can leverage this to link and discover data automatically, and automate API integration.
Taxi is used heavily to power Vyne - and the projects have influenced each other & evolved together. The expressiveness of Taxi allows Vyne to automate integration between services.
