Any equivalent to Pandas read_html() in DataFrames.jl?

General Usage

Hi all -

Just wondering if there is an equivalent in Dataframes.jl to pandas’s read_html() function for reading in HTML tables. I did some googling and looked through the docs and didn’t see anything - so I assume it’s just low on the priority list. But I was just wondering if I missed something - since I’d prefer to be working all in Julia rather than doing pycall.

Thanks!

There’s nothing in DataFrames to read any external data - we used to have a CSV reader directly available, but this was factored out long ago.

If the table is just some sort of delimited format you can just HTTP.get() it and then feed the body of the returned object to the DataFrame constructor.
