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 pprint import pprint

from frictionless import Resource

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

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

pprint(target)

pprint(target.read_rows())

{'data': b'id,name\r\n1,english\r\n2,german\r\n',

'format': 'csv',

'scheme': 'buffer'}

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

Configuring Data

There are no options available for BufferControl.
