Garoon Drivers & Connectors
for Data Integration

The Garoon driver acts like a bridge that facilitates communication between various applications and Garoon, allowing the application to read data as if it were a relational database. The Garoon driver abstracts the complexities of Garoon APIs, authentication methods, and data types, making it simple for any application to connect to Garoon data in real-time via standard SQL queries.

Working with a Garoon Driver is different than connecting with Garoon through other means. Garoon API integrations require technical experience from a software developer or IT resources. Additionally, due to the constant evolution of APIs and services, once you build your integration you have to constantly maintain Garoon integration code moving forward.

By comparison, our Garoon Drivers offer codeless access to live Garoon data for both technical and non-technical users alike. Any user can install our drivers and begin working with live Garoon data from any client application. Because our drivers conform to standard data interfaces like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET etc. they offer a consistent, maintenance-free interface to Garoon data. We manage all of the complexities of Garoon integration within each driver and deploy updated drivers as systems evolve so your applications continue to run seamlessly.

Many organizations draw attention to their library of connectors. After all, data connectivity is a core capability needed for applications to maximize their business value. However, it is essential to understand exactly what you are getting when evaluating connectivity. Some vendors are happy to offer connectors that implement basic proof-of-concept level connectivity. These connectors may highlight the possibilities of working with Garoon, but often only provide a fraction of capability. Finding real value from these connectors usually requires additional IT or development resources.

Unlike these POC-quality connectors, every CData Garoon driver offers full-featured Garoon data connectivity. The CData Garoon drivers support extensive Garoon integration, providing access to all of the Garoon data and meta-data needed by enterprise integration or analytics projects. Each driver contains a powerful embedded SQL engine that offers applications easy and high-performance access to all Garoon data. In addition, our drivers offer robust authentication and security capabilities, allowing users to connect securely across a wide range of enterprise configurations.

With our drivers and connectors, every data source is essentially SQL-based. The CData Garoon driver contains a full SQL-92 compliant engine that translates standard SQL queries into Garoon API calls dynamically. Queries are parsed and optimized for each data source, pushing down as much of the request to Garoon as possible. Any logic that can not be pushed to Garoon is handled transparently client-side by the driver/connector engine. Ultimately, this means that Garoon looks and acts exactly like a database to any client application or tool. Users can integrate live Garoon connectivity with ANY software solution that can talk to a standard database.

Using the CData Garoon drivers and connectors, Garoon can be easily integrated with almost any application. Any software or technology that can integrate with a database or connect with standards-based drivers like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, etc., can use our drivers for live Garoon data connectivity.

Garoon Analytics is universally supported for BI and data science. In addition, CData provides native client connectors for popular analytics applications like Power BI, Tableau, and Excel that simplify Garoon data integration. Additionally, native Python connectors are widely available for data science and data engineering projects that integrate seamlessly with popular tools like Pandas, SQLAlchemy, Dash, and Petl.
