Legalize

Legalize is a platform focused on making legislation from various countries transparent, accessible, and trackable by representing laws as code. It addresses the challenge of accessing and understanding legislative changes by providing every law as a Markdown file and tracking every reform as a Git commit. The service emphasizes open legal data, allowing users to browse and search through a large repository of legislation and reforms spanning 31 countries and multiple languages.

The platform offers features such as the ability to browse laws by country, view tracked reforms, and analyze legislative articles. Users can see specific changes to laws, with reforms and diffs clearly recorded. Legalize also provides a REST API with JSON endpoints, enabling developers and builders to access laws, reforms, and diffs programmatically. Integration with GitHub is available, supporting operations like git log, git diff, and git blame, which facilitates version control and collaborative analysis of legal texts.

Legalize is designed for a broad audience, including individuals interested in legal transparency, researchers, and developers who wish to build applications or conduct analysis using open legislative data. The platform automates the reproduction of official legislative sources, but it notes that its content is not official or verified legal text. The service is accessible via the web and offers resources in several languages, reflecting its international scope.
