This library is not a dataframe library - nor is it intended to be. This library is intended to help provide the "glue" so you can use those libraries within Jupyter / iJavaScript kernel notebooks.
There are far better libraries that have spent years on this topic that would be good item to review - like danfojs-node or dataframe-js
HOWEVER, there are times that it would be helpful to have a columnar / dataframe representation
(having a single array representing the value of that key across multiple objects)
I'll have to think about this request - as I think the other libraries do it better, and we don't want to cause confusion for people thinking that is an area we want to work in.
Some people are interested in this topic - and may not even know about those libraries - and we want to absolutely help them to find and share the wonderful work happening in this space.
We don't want to compete in that quite yet
and it doesn't seem that there is a compelling enough reason to do that yet.
(and the danger of confusion is fairly high as-well)
