While PRs are welcome, the approach taken only allows for concrete types (String, f64, i64, ...) I'm not sure this is the way to go. I want to think that using anything which implements serde::{Serialize, Deserialize} and better use of traits may have more flexibility, just not sure how to do that yet. The project is not abandoned, just in limbo. :-)

Rust API Documentation


BlackJack strives to be a full featured crate for general data processing.

Long term goal is to create a lightweight Pandas equivalent by and for the Rust community, but with slight differences in focus...

The project strives for a few key principles. When any implementation decisions are to be made, they are made with these principles in mind, and in this order:

  1. Memory efficiency
    • Minimize memory use at every opportunity.
  2. Usability
    • Strive for ergonomics; often done by modeling the Pandas API where possible.
  3. Speedy
    • It comes naturally most times with Rust. :)

Eventually we'll have a Python wrapper: Lumber-Jack associated with this crate, but that time will come.

Example use:

// We have a dataframe, of course...
let mut df = DataFrame::new();

// Make some series, of different types
let series_i32: Series<i32> = Series::arange(0, 5);
let mut series_f64: Series<f64> = Series::from_vec(vec![1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0]);

// You can set a series name!
series_f64.set_name("my-series");

// Or not... 
assert_eq!(series_i32.name(), None);

// And add them to the dataframe
df.add_column(series_f64).unwrap();
df.add_column(series_i32).unwrap();

// And then get a reference to a Series
let series_f64_ref: &Series<f64> = df.get_column("my-series").unwrap();

Read a CSV file:

Also supports reading .gz files

// Define the path to file
let path: &str = concat!(env!("CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR"), "/tests/data/medium_csv.csv");

// Use the `Reader` to read the dataframe
let df = Reader::new(&path).read().expect("Failed to read file");

// Get a refrence to a specific column and assert the sum of that series
let series2: &Series<i32> = df.get_column("col2").unwrap();

assert_eq!(series2.sum(), 3000);

Query/filter a dataframe

let mut s1 = Series::from(0..5);
s1.set_name("col1");

let mut s2 = Series::from(10..15);
s2.set_name("col2");

let mut s3 = Series::from_vec(vec![
    "foo".to_string(),
    "bar".to_string(),
    "foo".to_string(),
    "bar".to_string(),
    "foo".to_string(),
]);
s3.set_name("col3");

let mut df = DataFrame::new();
assert!(df.add_column(s1).is_ok());
assert!(df.add_column(s2).is_ok());
assert!(df.add_column(s3).is_ok());

// Before filtering, we're len 5 and first element of 'col1' is 0
assert_eq!(df.len(), 5);

df.filter_by_row(|row| row["col1"] == Datum::I32(&0));

// After filtering, we're len 4 and first element of 'col1' is now 1
assert_eq!(df.len(), 4);

// Filter by string foo,
df.filter_by_row(|row| row["col3"] != Datum::STR(&"foo".to_string()));
assert_eq!(df.len(), 2);

and a whole lot more..
