Welcome to PyQvd’s documentation!

PyQvd is a Python library that provides a simple API for reading/writing Qlik View Data (QVD) files in Python. Using this library, it is possible to parse the binary QVD file format and convert it to a Python object structure or vice versa.

In general, PyQvd is designed to be simple and easy to use. The library provides a high-level API that allows you to read and write QVD files with just a few lines of code. This way, you can focus on your data analysis tasks without having to worry about the details of the QVD file format.

PyQvd is a pure Python library and does not require any additional dependencies in order to work. However, some features of this library, especially connectors to third-party data sources, may require external libraries like pandas. If you want to use these features, you need to install the required libraries manually.
