Danfo.js is a javascript package that provides fast, flexible, and expressive data structures designed to make working with "relational" or "labeled" data both easy and intuitive. It is heavily inspired by Pandas library, and provides a similar API. This means that users familiar with Pandas, can easily pick up danfo.js.
- Danfo.js is fast. It is built on Tensorflow.js, and supports tensors out of the box. This means you can convert Danfo data structure to Tensors.
- Easy handling of missing-data (represented as
NaN) in floating point as well as non-floating point data - Size mutability: columns can be inserted/deleted from DataFrame
- Automatic and explicit alignment: objects can
be explicitly aligned to a set of labels, or the user can simply
ignore the labels and let
Series,DataFrame, etc. automatically align the data for you in computations - Powerful, flexible groupby functionality to perform split-apply-combine operations on data sets, for both aggregating and transforming data
- Make it easy to convert Arrays, JSONs, List or Objects, Tensors and differently-indexed data structures into DataFrame objects
- Intelligent label-based slicing, fancy indexing, and querying of large data sets
- Intuitive merging and joining data sets
- Robust IO tools for loading data from flat-files (CSV, Json, Excel, Data package).
- Powerful, flexible and intutive API for plotting DataFrames and Series interactively.
- Timeseries-specific functionality: date range generation and date and time properties.
- Robust data preprocessing functions like OneHotEncoders, LabelEncoders, and scalers like StandardScaler and MinMaxScaler are supported on DataFrame and Series
