# Welcome to CoreModels

CoreModels is a collaborative schema modeling platform designed for product teams, developers, and content engineers. It helps you design, visualize, and manage your data structures in a single, intuitive environment, transforming complex ideas into clear blueprints for your applications and content.

At its core, CoreModels helps you accelerate your project by bringing clarity and consistency to your data. Key features include:

Visualization: See your entire schema at a glance with interactive diagrams that make complex relationships simple to understand.

Collaboration: Work in real-time with your team to design and refine data models together, ensuring everyone is on the same page.

#### Integrations & Data Formats

CoreModels is built to be a central hub for your schema. We place a special emphasis on our integrations with industry-standard formats to ensure your data is always portable. You can easily push and pull your schemas directly to and from GitHub in the following formats:

* JSON Schema: A powerful and widely used standard for defining the structure and validation of JSON data.
* JSON-LD: A lightweight format for structured data that allows you to easily describe your schemas for search engines and other linked data applications.
