BlackJack strives to be a full featured crate for general data processing.
_Long term_ goal is to create a lightweight [Pandas](https://pandas.pydata.org/) 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](https://github.com/milesgranger/lumber-jack)
associated with this crate, but that time will come.
### Example use:
```rust,skt-default
// 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
```rust,skt-default
// 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
```rust,skt-default
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);
// After filtering, we're len 4 and first element of 'col1' is now 1
assert_eq!(df.len(), 4);
// Filter by string foo,
```
## and a whole lot more..
