🌹 Rozes - The Fastest DataFrame Library for TypeScript/JavaScript/Zig

Blazing-fast data analysis powered by WebAssembly. Rozes brings pandas-like analytics to TypeScript/JavaScript with native performance, columnar storage, and zero-copy operations.

npm install rozes (Please wait for full version)

const { Rozes } = require("rozes");

const rozes = await Rozes.init();
const df = rozes.DataFrame.fromCSV(
  "name,age,score\nAlice,30,95.5\nBob,25,87.3"
);

console.log(df.shape); // { rows: 2, cols: 3 }
const ages = df.column("age"); // Float64Array [30, 25] - zero-copy!

Why Rozes?

🚀 Performance - 3-10× Faster Than JavaScript Libraries

Uses a Parallel Parsing Mechanism
SIMD for speed optimizations for very large csvs
Radix Joins / String Interning and other optimizations for speed and memory
WebGPU optimizations (future)

console.log(df.shape);

TypeScript

import { Rozes, DataFrame } from "rozes";

const rozes: Rozes = await Rozes.init();
const df: DataFrame = rozes.DataFrame.fromCSV(csvText);

// Full autocomplete support
const shape = df.shape; // { rows: number, cols: number }

const std = @import("std");
const DataFrame = @import("rozes").DataFrame;

pub fn main() !void {
    var gpa = std.heap.GeneralPurposeAllocator(.{}){};
    defer _ = gpa.deinit();
    const allocator = gpa.allocator();

    const csv = "name,age,score\nAlice,30,95.5\nBob,25,87.3";
    var df = try DataFrame.fromCSVBuffer(allocator, csv, .{});

API Examples

JavaScript/TypeScript API (1.2.0)

Rozes provides a comprehensive DataFrame API for Node.js and browser environments through WebAssembly bindings.

CSV Parsing & I/O

// Parse CSV from string
const df = rozes.DataFrame.fromCSV(
  "name,age,score\nAlice,30,95.5\nBob,25,87.3"
);

// Parse CSV from file (Node.js only)
const df2 = rozes.DataFrame.fromCSVFile("data.csv");

DataFrame Properties

// Shape and metadata
df.shape; // { rows: 2, cols: 3 }
df.columns; // ["name", "age", "score"]
df.length; // 2

Column Access (Zero-Copy)

// Numeric columns - returns TypedArray (zero-copy!)
const ages = df.column("age"); // Float64Array [30, 25]
const scores = df.column("score"); // Float64Array [95.5, 87.3]

// String columns - returns array of strings
const names = df.column("name"); // ["Alice", "Bob"]

// Boolean columns - returns Uint8Array (0 = false, 1 = true)
const active = df.column("is_active"); // Uint8Array [1, 0]

DataFrame Operations

// Select columns
const subset = df.select(["name", "age"]);

// Head and tail
const first5 = df.head(5);
const last5 = df.tail(5);

// Sort
const sorted = df.sort("age", false); // ascending
const descending = df.sort("score", true); // descending

SIMD Aggregations (NEW in 1.2.0)

Blazing-fast statistical functions with SIMD acceleration (2-6 billion rows/sec)

// Sum - 4.48 billion rows/sec
const totalScore = df.sum("score"); // 182.8

// Mean - 4.46 billion rows/sec
const avgAge = df.mean("age"); // 27.5

// Min/Max - 6.5-6.7 billion rows/sec
const minAge = df.min("age"); // 25
const maxScore = df.max("score"); // 95.5

// Variance and Standard Deviation
const variance = df.variance("score");
const stddev = df.stddev("score");

// Note: SIMD automatically used on x86_64 with AVX2, falls back to scalar on other platforms

Memory Management

const df = rozes.DataFrame.fromCSV(largeCSV);
console.log(df.shape);

Full TypeScript Support

import { Rozes, DataFrame } from "rozes";

const rozes: Rozes = await Rozes.init();
const df: DataFrame = rozes.DataFrame.fromCSV(csvText);

// Full autocomplete and type checking
const shape: { rows: number; cols: number } = df.shape;
const columns: string[] = df.columns;
const ages: Float64Array | Int32Array | null = df.column("age");
const total: number = df.sum("price");

Browser Support

Browser	Version	Status	Notes
Chrome	90+	✅ Tier 1	Full WebAssembly support
Firefox	88+	✅ Tier 1	Full WebAssembly support
Safari	14+	✅ Tier 1	Full WebAssembly support
Edge	90+	✅ Tier 1	Chromium-based
IE 11	N/A	❌ Not Supported	No WebAssembly

Known Limitations (1.2.0)

⚠️ Missing Value Representation (MVP Limitation)

Current Behavior:

Int64 columns: 0 represents missing values
- ⚠️ Limitation: Cannot distinguish between legitimate zero and missing
- Example: [0, 1, 2] with fillna(99) becomes [99, 1, 2] (zero incorrectly replaced)
Float64 columns: NaN represents missing values
- ✅ Correct: NaN has no other meaning
- Example: [NaN, 1.5, 2.0] with fillna(0.0) becomes [0.0, 1.5, 2.0]

Workarounds:

Use Float64 columns if you need to preserve zeros
Avoid fillna(), dropna(), isna() operations on Int64 columns with legitimate zeros

Planned Fix (v1.4.0):

Add null bitmap to Series struct (similar to pandas/Arrow)
Support explicit null tracking for all types
Breaking change: Will require migration for existing code

What's Available (1.3.0):

✅ CSV Parsing: fromCSV(), fromCSVFile() - Fully implemented with parallel parsing
✅ CSV Export: toCSV() - Export with custom delimiters, headers, quoting
✅ Column Access: column() - All types (Int64, Float64, String, Bool) supported
✅ DataFrame Utilities: drop(), rename(), unique(), dropDuplicates(), describe(), sample()
✅ Missing Data: isna(), notna(), dropna() - Handle missing values
✅ String Operations: str.lower(), str.upper(), str.trim(), str.contains(), str.replace(), str.slice(), str.split()
✅ Advanced Aggregations: median(), quantile(), valueCounts(), corrMatrix(), rank()
✅ Multi-Column Sort: sortBy() with per-column ascending/descending order
✅ Join Types: innerJoin(), leftJoin(), rightJoin(), outerJoin(), crossJoin()
✅ Window Operations: rolling*(), expanding*() for time series analysis
✅ Reshape Operations: pivot(), melt(), transpose(), stack(), unstack()
✅ Apache Arrow: toArrow(), fromArrow() - Interop with Arrow ecosystem (schema-only MVP)
✅ Lazy Evaluation: lazy(), select(), limit(), collect() - Query optimization

Remaining limitations (planned for v1.4.0+):

⚠️ WebGPU Acceleration: Browser GPU acceleration for large datasets (planned 1.4.0)
⚠️ Full Arrow IPC: Complete data transfer (schema-only in 1.3.0, full IPC in 1.4.0)
⚠️ Null Bitmaps: Explicit null tracking for Int64 columns (planned 1.4.0)
✅ Basic Operations: select(), head(), tail(), sort() - Fully functional
✅ SIMD Aggregations: sum(), mean(), min(), max(), variance(), stddev() - Production ready

Future features (1.3.0+):

WebGPU acceleration for browser (2-10× speedup on large datasets)
Environment-optimized packages (rozes/web, rozes/node, rozes/csv)
Stream API for large files (>1GB)
Rich error messages with column suggestions (Levenshtein distance)
Interactive browser demo

Completed optimizations (Milestone 1.2.0):

✅ SIMD aggregations (95-97% faster than targets, billions of rows/sec)
✅ Radix hash join for integer keys (1.65× speedup on 100K×100K)
✅ Parallel CSV type inference (81% faster, 1.73M rows/sec)
✅ Parallel DataFrame operations (87-99% faster, thread-safe execution)
✅ Apache Arrow compatibility (schema mapping + IPC format)
✅ Lazy evaluation & query optimization (predicate/projection pushdown)

See CHANGELOG.md for full list.

Papa Parse: Need streaming API (coming in Rozes 1.1.0)
Danfo.js: Need full pandas-like API (more operations than Rozes 1.0.0)
Polars-WASM: Need lazy evaluation and query optimization (coming in Rozes 1.1.0+)
DuckDB-WASM: Need SQL interface
