QuackIO.jl 🐣🦆

If it quacks like a tabular IO package, then it is a tabular IO package (powered by DuckDB).

QuackIO provides a native Julia interface to DuckDB read/write functions. They support all Julia table types that follow the Tables.jl interface. Reading and writing is most efficient with columnar table types, such as StructArray or columntable.

  • write_table(filename, table; options...)
    Executes COPY table TO file (options) in DuckDB. Here, table is an arbitrary Julia table object:
using QuackIO

write_table("my_file.csv", tbl)
write_table("my_file.pq", tbl, format=:parquet)
  • read_*(tabletype, filename; options...) where * is csv, parquet, or json
    Calls the corresponding DuckDB function and converts the result to the specified Julia table type.
using QuackIO, Tables, StructArrays

# read_* call DuckDB functions with corresponding names
# and support any Julia table format:
tbl = read_csv(columntable, "my_file.csv", delim=";")
tbl = read_parquet(StructArray, "my_file.pq")
tbl = read_json(rowtable, "my_file.json")

Thanks to DuckDB and its Julia integration, QuackIO functions are performant. They can even be faster than native Julia readers for these formats.
