Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with dynamically generating adaptations of data objects are described. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request to access a requested portion of a data object. The data object is part of an application and the data object is in a first format that is native to the application and the request is for the data object in a second format. The example method includes analyzing, using at least hardware of a computer, the data object to identify the requested portion within the data object. The example method includes dynamically generating, in a volatile memory of the computer, an adaptation of the portion of the data object to provide access to the portion of the data object in the second format.
