As promised -- First early teaser ...
This only has character attribute and basic information .. You will note some fields are not CR fields and they will save to a new file.
The code is developed for CR 2.0 Expansion with Patch 5. I have endeavored to make it fully backward compatible and tested as many various loads as I could.. If you run this and it fails out, please let me know what version of CR you have and are running against so I can try to find the issue. I want the API to be fully compatible with ALL versions of CR 2.0, but in that, I need your help.
The tree does show how other information is loaded (monsters, classes, spells, etc).. All data is loaded, I just need to put the pages together for them .. As for "Parties" that is a drag/drop item on the tree. Not all context menus on the tree are functional, but they are there, just right click. On the main character page, right click in the traits/disadvantages boxes for a context menu there as well.
This is a VERY early release. A teaser to show CR data can be read outside Core Rules. Enjoy.
----- 17 July 2026 Update -----
For consistency, the attachment containing the DCT application is been removed. DCT can be obtained from :

This makes it easier for me to update the download file rather than keep posting items to the thread..

If anyone cares. I put the API reference at : http://drakein.solutions
The API is still in flux. As it reads/writes all existing Core Rules data, the "How best to access" changes as I utilize it. It IS a working API, and while the data formats will obviously not change, the interface will as solutions to data access are encountered. The extension data file that allows me to create new information will most likely change and that will be reflected in future API changes.
The tree entries "New Party" and drag/drop have been cleaned up and I have them working. Finishing up the inventory drag/drop, and item add. For the inventory drag/drop, it allows dragging between containers within a characters inventory, as well as dragging to other characters or party listings (basically any where the Inventory Control is displayed).

Glad to report that as the API (still in flux) is a static library, OR a DLL, (and on linux also a standard lib or so), the DLL/so can be accessed through other languages -- Java, Python, etc. ... Anything that can access a DLL or shared object.... It's been a LOT of work building it out and I am still finding interesting little bits that I have to consider.
My objective is to have the interface such that anyone using it can just access (read/write) the data without concerns for things like base records vs user records. Data inter-relations (How race uses allowed classes). Things like that. You store a value, it's validated and if it's good, it's stored, if not, you're told it didn't store.
This all sounds good, but really --- It's just to make things easier on my making the GUI
