Comment on Visidata 2.9.1 Released– Excel/CSV/JSON/SQLite/Parquet in the Terminal (TUI/CLI)

Comments

I'll say it again, Visidata is one my favorite new CLI/TUI tools over the last few years. It makes it extremely easy to explore/modify structured data in the terminal.

In the 2.9.1 release, they added support for: - window functions listing values from around the current row. - XDG support for config files. - new loaders for Apache Arrow (IPC and streaming) and parquet formats - Ability to quickly browse zip files on the web. - And even some support for Windows users. Though I usually think of this as mostly a *nix terminal based tool.

It can still load and view many different types of file formats like csv, usv, lsv, json, Excel.

Check out the tutorial and youtube videos.

Here are Saul Pwanson's YouTube videos showing off Visidata. Saul is the developer of Visidata:
