Intake

Intake is a lightweight Python package for finding, investigating, loading, and distributing data. It provides a common API for loading data from a wide variety of sources (e.g., CSV, NetCDF, SQL, HDF5, Parquet, Zarr) and enables the creation and management of data catalogs. The current version is 2.0.9, and the project is in a stable maintenance phase for its 2.x series, with less frequent but significant updates.
