About
read-file uses DuckDB to read and profile any data file - CSV, JSON, Parquet, Avro, Excel, spatial, SQLite - or a remote S3/HTTPS URL, previewing contents and answering questions about the dataset. A solo builder reaches for it whenever they need to peek inside a data file or understand its schema without writing boilerplate loading code.
