We provide a curated list of awesome tools, platforms, libraries and documentation about Asset Administration Shell. Items are listed alphabetically and do not follow a certain prioritization.
SDKs provide the AAS meta-model for a certain programming language, e.g. as a class hierarchy. On top of this, SDKs validate and de/serialize instances of the AAS.

Client libraries which allow interaction with an AAS HTTP/REST server
For Python, mostly generated from the OpenAPI specification
https://github.com/rwth-iat/aas-api-python-client
Server Frameworks enable the development of HTTP/REST interfaces to provide an AAS.
For Java, supports v3.0 of the AAS meta-model.

This sections lists end-user tools.
AASPortal is a Node.js based web portal for the visualization and management of Asset Administration Shells (AAS).
Images available at Dockerhub.
https://github.com/FraunhoferIOSB/AASPortal
Provide a set of command-line tools to:
- Convert CSV tables to AAS,
- Validate instances of AAS,
- Tree-shake concept descriptions,
- Check for dangling references, and
- Convert AAS to static file structures (in form of directories and JSON files) such that they can be statically served by a HTTP server (e.g. nginx) as a read-only AAS server.
Supports v3.0 of the AAS meta-model.
https://github.com/aas-core-works/aas-core3.0-cli-swiss-knife
Code generator tool built on top of the BaSyx-Python-SDK.
It generates Submodel-specific classes and classes for its submodel elements with filled meta-information derived from AASX submodel templates. The generated classes can then be used for submodel instantiation.
Also contains generated classes for some of IDTA Submodels.
https://github.com/rwth-iat/aas-submodel-template-to-py
Web-based GUI to connect to an AAS server or registry. Docker images available.
https://github.com/eclipse-basyx/basyx-applications/tree/main/aas-gui
Web-based GUI to inspect an AAS. Image available at Dockerhub.
