Hi Daniel, I think you did not mention it before - or I forgot it :-)
Technically I’m using URIs here with support of ordinary strings (without URI scheme) interpreted as https://github.com/apache/freemarker-generator/blob/master/freemarker-generator-cli/src/site/markdown/cli/concepts/named-uris.md <https://github.com/apache/freemarker-generator/blob/master/freemarker-generator-cli/src/site/markdown/cli/concepts/named-uris.md> https://github.com/apache/freemarker-generator/blob/master/freemarker-generator-cli/src/site/markdown/cli/concepts/data-sources.md <https://github.com/apache/freemarker-generator/blob/master/freemarker-generator-cli/src/site/markdown/cli/concepts/data-sources.md> With URIs the following data sources are supported * examples/data/csv/user.csv (technically not a URI) * file:/some/absolute/path/examples/data/csv/user.csv * https://xkcd.com/info.0.json * env:///DB_CONFIG#mimetType=application/json <env:///DB_CONFIG#mimetType=application/json> And with additional “DataSourceLoaders” it is possible to support other protocols, e.g * s3://mybucket/config/file.json <s3://mybucket/config/file.json> Cheers, Siegfried Goeschl > On 9 Feb 2021, at 09:03, Daniel Dekany <daniel.dek...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I'm sure I have said this in the past... but anyway, this commit reminded > me.
