Dex is a desktop data exploration and visualization application written in Java/Groovy on top of JavaFX. It combines ETL capabilities, machine learning integration (SMILE and R), and 50+ visualization types that can be published to the web.

Use cases

  • visualize csv data with interactive charts
  • explore and transform datasets before analysis
  • create web-based data visualizations from databases
  • apply machine learning to tabular data
  • build network and chord diagrams from relational data
  • etl data between files and databases

When to choose

  • you want a GUI-based data exploration tool on the JVM
  • you need ETL plus visualization in a single desktop app
  • you want to publish D3-style visualizations to the web from Java

When to avoid

  • you need a Python or R-native workflow
  • you require actively maintained software with recent releases
  • you need a lightweight scriptable library rather than a full desktop application
