Interactive data explorer and analysis web tool for analysts, statisticians and data scientists.

Fusion Data Browser is a web application suitable for both internal and external data consumers to search and explore the catalogue of datasets, select series and cubes of interest, build visualisations using tables and charts, and retrieve selected data in a variety of formats including SDMX, Excel and CSV.

It can connect either directly to a Fusion Registry Core engine for internal applications, or a Fusion Edge Server cluster for public dissemination use cases.
