It acts as a foundation layer for handling the low-level mechanics of parsing and serializing tabular data. The library is designed to be extended via plugins\u2014additional packages add support for formats like XLS, XLSX, and ODS\u2014so you can install only the format handlers you need.\n\nYou use it when you need to load data from or save data to flat files without writing format-specific parsing code, or when you want a pluggable architecture for handling multiple file types in a single application. It integrates with SQLAlchemy and Django for database workflows. The package has been actively maintained since 2014 and supports Python 3.6 and later.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive New BSD License, and fills a clear niche: providing a unified API for reading and writing common tabular formats. It's well-suited for applications that need to handle multiple file formats without tight coupling to any single format library.
