    Tablib is a Python library designed for importing, exporting, and manipulating tabular datasets. It functions as a multi-format data converter and manager, allowing users to move information between different file standards. The library supports data transformation across CSV, JSON, YAML, and Excel formats. It provides a programmatic interface to manage these datasets by adding rows, filtering columns, and segregating records. The system uses a common internal representation and adapter-based mapping to normalize diverse input sources. This allows for consistent reading and writing routines
