Hello,
Demo site is not yet set up but, as I see, it might be useful for
getting better insight.
The main differences from Data Viewer are:
1) You can access all models that you register to Appengine Admin -
despite if there are any records created or not.
2) For each registered model you can access these attributes that are
currently present in model definition. In Data Viewer it is possible
to see also those attributes that are deleted from model definition. I
consider this as a feature that helps me to keep better data integrity
in the system.
3) User interface is more comfortable for actual data editing (e.g.,
dropdown list for foreign key editing instead of raw key text input)
4) Data Viewer seems meant for access to raw existing data for making
corrections in case of data integrity errors or similar situations.
Appengine Admin is CRUD tool for editing site content data. Appengine
Admin is meant to be usable not only by developers but also site users
(e.g., marketing department or sales people) who have to enter and
edit data.
Data Viewer does it's job very good and I use it for development needs
however I think that there is niche also for Appengine Admin.
Thanks for the questions and
best regards,
Valts.
