CSV REST Connector: CSV-backed structured data

Resource type: Code solution

Product or industry: BigID custom connectors / structured data

Use case or problem: Need a small local service for testing how CSV data can be exposed to BigID as structured objects.

Solution or resource: This Node.js/Express sample reads CSV files from resources/ and exposes their rows and fields through REST endpoints. It includes routes for object discovery, schema, count, record retrieval, and a prototype search operation.

Getting started: Run npm install and npm start; the service listens on port 8000. The README documents the endpoints.

Limitations: This is a demo with sample files, not a production data service. Basic Auth credentials are currently hard-coded in the source; change them before use with real data, and do not expose the sample publicly.
