Data Viewer for Objects – announcing ObjectBox Admin

ObjectBox Admin (Docker container) allows you to analyze ObjectBox databases that run on desktop and server machines. Releasing ObjectBox Admin as a standalone Docker image makes it possible to run Admin on a larger number of platforms.

ObjectBox Admin is available as a Linux x86_64 Docker image, which runs on all common platforms including Windows and macOS. We offer a convenience script (objectbox-admin.sh) but it’s also simple enough to run it via plain Docker. See the docs for details, or get started by following this short tutorial.

Data Browser

The ObjectBox Admin Web App comprises a menu on the left (Data, Schema, Status, GraphQL…) and the corresponding content pane on the right-hand side.

ObjectBox Admin Web App (Data, Schema, Status, GraphQL...)

The data browser provides a table of objects of a specific type. By clicking on the Type we can select an entity type for viewing its entity objects.

Next to the type selection is a small filter icon (the dashed triangle right of the type selection).

When selected, a query editor pops up that allows to filter data by adding a Property/Operator/Value expression.

When finished, click the check mark, and the data table gets updated with an active filter.

At the bottom, you will find a download link that exports the objects of the currently viewed box in JSON format.

ObjectBox 1.1 introduces Data Browser



ObjectBox 1.1 brings a data browser to view objects inside ObjectBox databases. This has become the most requested feature, so we are very happy about finally releasing it. The new data browser actually runs in the browser as it is an embedded web app. Thus, you can quickly check data on your device on the fly, or on your development machine to make use of your screen estate.
