Buffer Tutorial

Frictionless supports working with bytes loaded into memory.

Reading Data

You can read Buffer Data using Package/Resource API, for example:

Python

from pprint import pprint

from frictionless import Resource

resource = Resource(b'id,name\n1,english\n2,german', format='csv')

pprint(resource.read_rows())

[{'id': 1, 'name': 'english'}, {'id': 2, 'name': 'german'}]

Writing Data

A similiar approach can be used for writing:

Python

from frictionless import Resource

source = Resource(data=[['id', 'name'], [1, 'english'], [2, 'german']])

target = source.write(scheme='buffer', format='csv')

print(target)

print(target.read_rows())

{'format': 'csv', 'scheme': 'buffer'}

+----+-----------+

| id | name |

+====+===========+

| 1 | 'english' |

+----+-----------+

| 2 | 'german' |

+----+-----------+
