<title>ObjTables: Tools for creating and reusing high-quality spreadsheets</title>
<meta name="description" content="ObjTables is a free, open-source toolkit for systematically building, annotating, validating, and parsing complex datasets with the ease of spreadsheets (e.g., XLSX), the rigor of schemas, and the power of object-oriented programming. ObjTables makes it easy to design schemas for datasets, generate template spreadsheets with inline help and validation for building datasets, capture metadata such as the author of a dataset, use schemas to validate the syntax and semantics of datasets, and use schemas to parse datasets into data structures for further analysis in languages such as Python. The ObjTables software is available through four interfaces: a web application, a web service, a command-line program, and a Python library. Together, ObjTables can help researchers define formats for domain-specific data, integrate diverse data, analyze complex datasets, and share data."/>
