Dataview Serializer 2.0: Powerful Queries Without Sacrificing Data Portability

Turn your Obsidian vault into a dynamic knowledge system that works everywhere and also with AI

In this article, I want to share the major updates I’ve made to my Dataview Serializer plugin for Obsidian. If you’ve been frustrated by Dataview queries that don’t show up on your published site, don’t appear in your Graph view, lock your knowledge into a single tool, and can’t be leveraged using AI, this is for you.

Introduction

The Dataview plugin for Obsidian is one of the most powerful plugins out there. It lets you query your notes like a database. Unfortunately, the results are generated on the fly and never actually exist in your Markdown files. This means:

  • Your Graph view doesn’t show the connections
  • Obsidian Publish sites display empty blocks
  • If you ever switch tools, those queries become useless
  • Your knowledge is locked into a specific rendering engine
  • AI can’t see the query results

I’ve been working on the Dataview Serializer plugin for Obsidian to solve this and to enable support for various use cases in my Obsidian Starter Kit. The cool news is that it’s free and open source, so anyone can use this . And I’ve just shipped a massive update that takes it to the next level 🚀

TL;DR

Here’s what’s new in Dataview Serializer 2.0+:
