DFLib 1.0 GA release #408

I am very happy to announce the GA release of DFLib - 1.0.0! 🎉🎁

DFLib is an open source pure Java DataFrame library. It is great for writing data transformations, ETL, "notebook" data analysis, visualizing data with charts and many other things. It is developed and supported by ObjectStyle in collaboration with the community.

Today's GA release is a culmination of years of development to provide a full data processing experience to regular Java developers, otherwise only found in the land of Python and Big Data. DFLib's DataFrame has a powerful yet consistent API to manipulate tabular data. A range of memory and CPU optimizations make it possible to work with large datasets without a cluster. An evolving visualization framework allows to generate semi-interactive JavaScript charts from DataFrames in just a few lines of code.

As exciting as 1.0.0 is, we have an active roadmap - expression language, more charts, more data sources and connectors, memory-mapped files, streaming, etc. Stay tuned!
