This document also covers migration from one framework's version to another.

From v4 to v5

Since the initial Frictionless Framework release we'd been collecting feedback and analyzing both high-level users' needs and bug reports to identify shortcomings and areas that can be improved in the next version of the framework. Read about a new version of the framework and migration details in this blog:

From dataflows

Frictionless Framework provides the frictionless transform function for data transformation. It can be used to migrate from dataflows or datapackage-pipelines:

From goodtables

Frictionless Framework provides the frictionless validate function which is in high-level exactly the same as goodtables validate. Also frictionless describe is an improved version of goodtables init. You instead need to use the frictionless command instead of the goodtables command:

From datapackage

Frictionless Framework has Package and Resource classes which is almost the same as datapackage has:

From tableschema

Frictionless Framework has Schema and Field classes which is almost the same as tableschema has:

From tabulator

Frictionless has Resource class which is an equivalent of the tabulator's Stream class:
