The extension supports three different backends for parsing the files:

### parquets
### arrow

This is the default backend. It uses the [parquets](https://github.com/dvirtz/parquets) TypeScript library, which is a fork of the unmaintained [kbajalc/parquets](https://github.com/kbajalc/parquets) library with some bug fixes.
This is the default backend. This backend is a thin wrapper around the [Apache Arrow C++](https://github.com/apache/arrow/tree/main/cpp) implementation and so should support latest and greatest parquet features.

It only supports parquet version 1.0.0.
It is currently in an experimental state. To use, set `parquet-viewer.backend` setting to `arrow`.
