High Tech
High Tech indexes the APIs, data services, and reference artifacts that power the electronics, semiconductor, hardware, and IoT industries. The landscape covers electronic component data and distribution (Octopart / Nexar, Digi-Key, Mouser, Arrow Electronics, Avnet, Newark / element14), ECAD and PCB design data (SnapEDA, Ultra Librarian, Altium 365 via Nexar Design), hardware lifecycle and IoT device management (AWS IoT, Azure IoT Hub, Particle, Golioth), bill-of-materials and component-search workflows used across hardware product engineering, and the authoritative manufacturer data that anchors a component record (manufacturer part number, manufacturer, datasheet, lifecycle status, RoHS / REACH compliance, real-time inventory and pricing across distributors). This index captures the canonical providers, the shape of a component record as JSON Schema, a JSON-LD context aligning with schema.org Product / Offer / Organization, and the domain vocabulary used across the high-tech component supply chain.
