Adding Custom Catalogues​

HerdingCATs is designed to be extensible. If you have a custom data catalogue you would like to connect to, you can:

  1. Raise an issue on the GitHub repository
  2. Submit a pull request with your changes (you'll have to extend the CatSession class enum)

The reason for this is sometimes I like to check that a catalogue is working well with the library before committing to using it in the project.

However, the plan is to allow users to add their own catalogues with just a URL and a few other details in the future.
