ReadStatTables.jl

Load data from Stata, SAS and SPSS files into Julia tables

ReadStatTables.jl is a Julia package for loading data from Stata, SAS and SPSS files into a Tables.jl-compatible table. It relies on ReadStat.jl, which is a Julia interface of the ReadStat C library, for parsing the data files. The same C library is also the backend for popular packages such as pyreadstat and haven.

Features

ReadStatTables.jl adds the following features on top of the read support from ReadStat.jl.

A lightweight Tables.jl-compatible column table ReadStatTable for basic operations.
Integration of value labels via a customized array type LabeledArray.
Translation of date and time values into Julia time types Date and DateTime.
