# What is Vaex?

Vaex is a high performance Python library for lazy **Out-of-Core DataFrames**
(similar to Pandas), to visualize and explore big tabular datasets. It
calculates *statistics* such as mean, sum, count, standard deviation etc, on an
*N-dimensional grid* for more than **a billion** (`10^9`) samples/rows **per
second**. Visualization is done using **histograms**, **density plots** and **3d
volume rendering**, allowing interactive exploration of big data. Vaex uses
memory mapping, zero memory copy policy and lazy computations for best
performance (no memory wasted).

# Installing
With pip:
```
$ pip install vaex
```
Or conda:
```
$ conda install -c conda-forge vaex
```

[For more details, see the documentation](https://docs.vaex.io/en/latest/installing.html)

# Key features
## Instant opening of Huge data files (memory mapping)
[HDF5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_Data_Format) and [Apache Arrow](https://arrow.apache.org/) supported.

![opening1b](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1765949/82820352-49e73080-9ea2-11ea-9153-d73aa399d329.png)

[Read the documentation on how to efficiently convert your data](https://docs.vaex.io/en/latest/example_io.html) from CSV files, Pandas DataFrames, or other sources.


Lazy streaming from S3 supported in combination with memory mapping.

## Expression system
Don't waste memory or time with feature engineering, we (lazily) transform your data when needed.

## Out-of-core DataFrame
Filtering and evaluating expressions will not waste memory by making copies; the data is kept untouched on disk, and will be streamed only when needed. Delay the time before you need a cluster.

## Fast groupby / aggregations
Vaex implements parallelized, highly performant `groupby` operations, especially when using categories (>1 billion/second).

## Fast and efficient join
Vaex doesn't copy/materialize the 'right' table when joining, saving gigabytes of memory. With subsecond joining on a billion rows, it's pretty fast!
