Overview

zsv playground is a minimal terminal that runs in the browser.

This document describes how to make the best of it.

Please make sure that the issue being reported is not a duplicate of already reported (opened/closed) issues.

In general, any feedback/suggestions for improvments are always welcome!

Limitations

The zsv CLI application in the playground may be limited in its functionality due to the fact that it's a sandboxed environment.

Following are its current limitations:

• The input via STDIN is not supported.
  • The input needs to be passed as a file.
• The output to STDOUT may take time depending on its size.
  • For large files, e.g. with millions of records, it is recommended to dump output to a file with -o/--output flag and work with that.
  • The save command may also be used to download the output file to disk for any extensive STDOUT related tasks.
• The sheet command is not available.
• For iOS, zsv is built without SIMD instructions.
  • The performance may differ in the playground versus the installed version.

Important

Each new tab is a new session. Nothing is preserved between sessions.
Refreshing a tab will start a new session i.e. everyting will be lost.

Getting started

To start the playground, go to https://liquidaty.github.io/zsv/.

Note

The TAB autocompletion is supported for commands/subcommands/flags and files.
