Perspective is an <i>interactive</i> analytics and data visualization component,
which is especially well-suited for <i>large</i> and/or <i>streaming</i>
datasets. Use it to create user-configurable reports, dashboards, notebooks and
applications.

### Features

-   A fast, memory efficient streaming query engine, written in C++ and compiled
    for [WebAssembly](https://webassembly.org/),
    [Python](https://www.python.org/) and [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/),
    with read/write/streaming for [Apache Arrow](https://arrow.apache.org/), and
    a high-performance columnar expression language based on
    [ExprTK](https://github.com/ArashPartow/exprtk).

-   A framework-agnostic User Interface packaged as a
    [Custom Element](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Web_Components/Using_custom_elements),
    powered either in-browser via WebAssembly or virtually via WebSocket server
    (Python/Node/Rust).

-   A [JupyterLab](https://jupyter.org/) widget and Python client library, for
    interactive data analysis in a notebook, as well as _scalable_ production
    applications.
