# Humanitarian Data Exchange Documentation

The Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX) is an open platform for sharing humanitarian data. Our goal is to make data easy to find and use for analysis. This documentation is your guide to finding data, publishing data responsibly, and integrating HDX into your workflows through our tools and APIs.

### Navigate our documentation

We’ve organized the content into three main spaces to help you get the most out of HDX.
