Announcing [JMPReader.jl](https://github.com/jaakkor2/JMPReader.jl), a reader for files saved by [JMP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JMP_(statistical_software)), commercial statistical software.

Do you have a .jmp file and one or more of the following applies to you?

- You don’t have a JMP license
- You’re not running Windows or Mac
- You prefer data analysis and visualizaton in Julia

If so, JMPReader.jl could be the solution for you. This package is an independent implementation of a reader for JMP files, written in Julia.

Usage is simple:

```julia
using JMPReader
df = readjmp("mydata.jmp")

```

I was able to read about 1000 JMP files that I had access to. If you encounter a file that causes the reader to choke, please open an issue.

Wow! That’s pretty amazing. I’m not aware of a parser of JMP files for python or R. Looking forward to testing!

This works very well.  
Tested with a 39 MB file of size (344832, 11).  
It was read in less than 50 ms:

```julia
julia> @time l1 = readjmp("TSA_jmp_example.jmp")
  0.044215 seconds (718 allocations: 85.876 MiB)
344832×11 DataFrame

```
