Datasette lets you turn any source of data into a powerful JSON or [GraphQL](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-graphql) API, ideal for use as the backend for an interactive prototype. Use Datasette with **[Observable notebooks](https://observablehq.com/)** to quickly try out new visualizations and explore the Datasette API using JavaScript. Datasette works as a great data for **[Jupyter notebooks](https://jupyter.org/)** too. - **[Analyzing ScotRail audio announcements with Datasette—from prototype to production](https://simonwillison.net/2022/Aug/21/scotrail/)** talks through the full process of creating an initial rapid prototype using Datasette Lite and growing that into a full production Datasette instance. - **[Fast Autocomplete Search for Your Website](https://simonwillison.net/2018/Dec/19/fast-autocomplete-search/)** shows how to build a full autocomplete search engine for your website, powered by Datasette and a few dozen lines of custom JavaScript. | <p>Want to build a prototype?
