It supports streaming and resumable downloads, automatic retries, checksum and size verification, and offline cache inspection. . It also provides gzip and ZIP decompression, tar archive extraction, versioned dataset bundles, and SQLite caches built from CSV files or pandas DataFrames. Bundles and derived datasets can be validated before publication, preserving previously cached data if an update fails. . This package is used to keep large external data sets in sync with local representations. This may imply also the update of local databases when the external data is presented as a textual format ("flat files"), a mostly human-readable format that one could open as a spreadsheet and equally easy parse and index or reimport into a local database.
