Aggregate Fields Scraper

Aggregate Fields Scraper creates a complete overview of variations inside any structured dataset by analyzing user-selected fields. It reveals hidden inconsistencies, normalizes values, and highlights variations for better data quality assessment.

This tool helps teams quickly understand the structure of their datasets, especially when values contain inconsistent formatting or multiple embedded tokens.

Introduction

This project aggregates values across chosen fields within a dataset and produces summaries such as unique values, min/max lengths, and averages. It is designed to help analysts, engineers, and QA teams verify the consistency of collected structured data.

Why Aggregated Field Analysis Matters

• Quickly highlights inconsistent formatting inside dataset fields.
• Identifies hidden variations caused by separators, hyphens, or merged tokens.
• Helps validate datasets before further processing or ETL tasks.
• Improves visibility when working with complex or multi-value fields.
• Supports automated data-quality workflows.

Features

Feature	Description

Use Cases

• Data analysts use it to inspect field variations so they can ensure uniform dataset formatting.
• QA engineers use it to detect inconsistent values before running validation tests, reducing downstream errors.
• ETL developers use it to uncover hidden formatting differences, enabling smoother pipeline transformations.
• Researchers use it to understand categorical spread within data, improving feature engineering decisions.
• Data architects use it to audit dataset quality prior to integration into production systems.

FAQs

Q1: Can it handle large datasets? Yes. The processing is optimized to work in streams, allowing efficient aggregation even with large JSON datasets.

Q2: Can I define custom splitting logic? Absolutely. Each field can have a unique delimiter specified in the split configuration.

Q3: Does it modify the original data? No. All operations are performed on in-memory representations, leaving the source dataset unchanged.

Q4: What formats are supported? The tool works with any structured JSON array or dataset with consistent field names.
