This looks really interesting. I use csvkit all the time. Curious how they compare. Will ply around with it.


By analogy csvkit is to visdata as sed is to vim.

Visdata is an interactive tool and you can quickly explore/edit data directly. While csvkit is batch oriented. Visidata can be used in a batch way, but that is not its strength.

I prefer to use a similar tool mlr. I find mlr is complementary to Visdata. Either to process the data before going into Visdata, or to figure out what mlr commands I want to use for a shell script.
