Local Tutorial

You can read and write files locally with Frictionless. This is a basic functionality of Frictionless.

Reading Data

You can read using Package/Resource, for example:

Python

from pprint import pprint

from frictionless import Resource

resource = Resource(path='data/table.csv')

pprint(resource.read_rows())

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

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('table.csv')

print(target)

print(target.to_view())

{'path': 'table.csv'}

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

| id | name |

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

| 1 | 'english' |

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

| 2 | 'german' |

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