Apache Parquet Official Native Rust Implementation

This crate contains the official Native Rust implementation of Apache Parquet, which is part of the Apache Arrow project.

See the API documentation for examples and the full API.

The API documentation for most recent, unreleased code is available here.

Rust Version Compatibility

This crate is tested with the latest stable version of Rust. We do not currently test against other, older versions of the Rust compiler.

Versioning / Releases

The parquet crate follows the SemVer standard defined by Cargo and works well within the Rust crate ecosystem. See the repository README for more details on the release schedule and version.

Note that for historical reasons, this crate uses versions with major numbers greater than 0.x (e.g. 19.0.0), unlike many other crates in the Rust ecosystem which spend extended time releasing versions 0.x to signal planned ongoing API changes. Minor arrow releases contain only compatible changes, while major releases may contain breaking API changes.
