Avro File Viewer in VS Code

Overview

Section titled “Overview”

DBCode lets you open and work with Apache Avro files directly in VS Code. Browse data with sorting and filtering, and run SQL queries against your Avro files using DuckDB under the hood.

Features

Section titled “Features”
  • Open any .avro file in the data grid
  • Sort, filter, and group data
  • Run SQL queries against Avro data
  • View schema information
  • View the metadata embedded in the file
  • Export to other formats (CSV, Excel, Parquet, JSON)

File metadata

Section titled “File metadata”

Avro files store key/value metadata in their container header. Expand a table in the connection tree and open its Metadata node to see it. Your own keys show at the top, and the standard keys avro.schema and avro.codec are tucked under a collapsed System group. Hover a value to read it in full, right-click to copy it, or click a long value to open it in an editor.
