Existing libraries

[rufuspollock]

A list of existing libraries.

Note: when we started research on this in 2015 there were none that we could find so a good sign that they are developing.

• https://github.com/StratoDem/pandas-js - last commit sep 2017 280 ⭐
• https://github.com/Gmousse/dataframe-js - last update in early 2019 but changes seemed minor
  • Started July 2016
  • dataframe-js provides another way to work with data in javascript (browser or server side) by using DataFrame, a data structure already used in some languages (Spark, Python, R, ...).
  • v1.1.1 as Nov 2016
  • 12 ⭐️ (now 258 ⭐ as of oct 2019)
  • Comment: support browser and node etc. Pretty well structured. A long way from Pandas still.
• https://github.com/osdat/jsdataframe
  • Started: March 6 2016
  • Jsdataframe is a JavaScript data wrangling library inspired by data frame functionality in R and Python Pandas. Vector and data frame constructs are implemented to provide vectorized operations, summarization methods, subset selection/modification, sorting, grouped split-apply-combine operations, database-style joins, reshaping/pivoting, JSON serialization, and more. It is hoped that users of R and Python Pandas will find the concepts in jsdataframe quite familiar.
