A Go port of the Python PrettyTable package. Display tabular data in ASCII, Unicode, Markdown, CSV, HTML, JSON, LaTeX, and MediaWiki formats.
- Create tables with custom field (column) names
- Add rows one by one or all at once
- Add columns one by one
- Delete rows and columns
- Sort and filter rows
- Control column alignment (left, center, right)
- Section dividers (add_divider)
- Advanced style options (borders, padding, custom chars)
- Output formats: ASCII, Unicode, Markdown, CSV, HTML, JSON, LaTeX, MediaWiki and Markdown
- Import from CSV or database rows
