Crate ambers 

ambers: Pure Rust reader for SPSS .sav and .zsav files.

This library reads SPSS SAV/ZSAV files natively in Rust with no C dependencies. Data is returned as Apache Arrow RecordBatch for seamless integration with Polars, DataFusion, and other Arrow-compatible tools.

Quick Start

use ambers::read_sav;

let (batch, meta) = read_sav("survey.sav").unwrap();
println!("Rows: {}", batch.num_rows());
println!("Columns: {}", batch.num_columns());
println!("Variables: {:?}", meta.variable_names);
