Provides a JavaScript API and pipeline-based query language for filtering, sorting, and extracting data from Markdown pages. See the Examples section below for some quick examples, or the full reference for all the details. Examples Show all games in the game folder, sorted by rating, with some metadata: markdown --- List games which are MOBAs or CRPGs. markdown --- List all markdown tasks in un-completed projects: markdown --- Show all files in the books folder that you read in 2021, grouped by genre and sorted by rating: markdown Usage For a full description of all features, instructions, and examples, see the reference.

Dataview Query Language (DQL) : A pipeline-based, vaguely SQL-looking expression language which can support basic use cases.
