VisiData
Terminal spreadsheet for exploring tabular data
About VisiData
An interactive multitool for exploring, cleaning, editing and restructuring tabular data in the terminal, opening CSV, JSON, Parquet, databases and many other formats in a fast spreadsheet interface. Its open development model means documentation, plugins and community support are publicly available, and organisations can contribute fixes upstream instead of waiting on a vendor roadmap. For many teams it becomes long-lived infrastructure: simple to back up, straightforward to automate and independent of per-seat pricing as usage grows steadily.
