Value types for pandas data structures🔗
Pandas is a library for data analysis and manipulation.
In order to make working with pandas and boxs easier, boxs comes with types for
storing pandas types. Those types are only available, if the pandas
package is
available, otherwise the value types are not defined because of missing dependencies.
PandasDataFrameCsvValueType🔗
The PandasDataFrameCsvValueType
allows to store a pandas.DataFrame
. The data is exported to a CSV file using the
pandas to_csv()
and read_csv()
functions.
Supported python types🔗
pandas.DataFrame
Configuration🔗
The value type supports configuring its default_encoding
. This encoding will be used
when storing a the data frame. The encoding uses 'utf-8' as default. It can be used
with a different default_encoding
when a new instance of PandasDataFrameCsvValueType
is created that takes a different encoding as constructor argument.
Additional meta-data attributes🔗
'encoding'
: The encoding that was used storing this value.
