github.com/shuLhan/tabula (go): Package tabula is a Go library for working with rows, columns, or matrix (table), or in another terms working with data set.  Go's slice gave a flexible way to manage sequence of data in one type, but what if you want to manage a sequence of value but with different type of data? Or manage a bunch of values like a table?  You can use this library to manage sequence of value with different type and manage data in two dimensional tuple.  ## Terminology  Here are some terminologies that we used in developing this library, which may help reader understand the internal and API.  Record is a single cell in row or column, or the smallest building block of dataset.  Row is a horizontal representation of records in dataset.  Column is a vertical representation of records in dataset. Each column has a unique name and has the same type data.  Dataset is a collection of rows and columns.  Given those definitions we can draw the representation of rows, columns, or matrix:  ## Record Type  There are only three valid type in record: int64, float64, and string.  ## Dataset Mode  Tabula has three mode for dataset: rows, columns, or matrix.  For example, given a table of data,  "rows" mode is where each line saved in its own slice, resulting in Rows:  "columns" mode is where each line saved by columns, resulting in Columns:  Unlike rows mode, each column contain metadata including column name, type, flag, and value space (all possible value that _may_ contain in column value).  "matrix" mode is where each record saved both in row and column.  Matrix mode consume more memory but give a flexible way to manage records.
