It's designed for quick, straightforward inflation adjustments in data analysis, financial reporting, or historical comparisons without needing to manually source or parse CPI tables yourself.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, uses permissive MIT licensing, and installs with low friction.
