About:
Tabiew is a terminal user interface (TUI) application designed for inspecting and querying large tabular data files directly from the command line. It provides a spreadsheet-like experience within the terminal, supporting various formats including CSV, TSV, and Parquet. Its primary value is enabling fast, keyboard-driven data exploration without the overhead of graphical interfaces or heavy database systems.
Key Features:
  • Support for multiple file formats (CSV, TSV, Parquet)
  • Keyboard-driven, spreadsheet-like TUI interface
  • SQL-like query capabilities on loaded data
  • Fast loading and rendering for large datasets
Use Cases:
  • Quickly inspecting large CSV or Parquet files on remote servers
  • Performing ad-hoc queries on local data files without loading them into a database
  • Viewing tabular data in environments without a graphical user interface
Alternatives:
  • VisiData – VisiData is a more advanced, multi-tool TUI for data exploration, while Tabiew focuses on a simpler, modern interface for specific file formats.
  • csvkit – csvkit provides a suite of CLI tools for CSV manipulation, whereas Tabiew offers an interactive TUI for both viewing and querying.
