Usage Examples

Technical Notes

Section titled “Technical Notes”
  • The operator attempts to parse the loaded file based on its extension (.dat, .json, .csv, .tsv, .txt). Ensure the file content matches the expected format for its extension.
  • Loading JSON expects a list of dictionaries, where each dictionary represents a row and keys represent column headers.
  • Loading TXT assumes tab-separated values.
