It provides a fluent API for reading HXL-tagged datasets from URLs, files, or stdin, then filtering, transforming, and validating them using chainable operations. The library treats data transformation as lazy evaluation, processing only what is needed to minimize memory use.\n\nThe package includes both a programmatic API and command-line scripts. Developers use it to read datasets, apply filters (like selecting rows by criteria or sorting), validate against schemas, and serialize output to CSV, JSON, or raw arrays. It integrates with requests for URL handling and supports caching to reduce repeated network calls.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you work with Humanitarian Exchange Language data. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and provides a complete toolkit for HXL workflows. High install friction (10 dependencies) is a minor drawback, but standard for data processing libraries. Verify the unclear license status before use in proprietary contexts."},"id":"libhxl","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/libhxl","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/libhxl.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/libhxl/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-10-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"libhxl","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python support library for the Humanitarian Exchange Language (HXL).
