Support RAR compression
See original GitHub issueOverview
We’d like to extend support of compression algorithms adding rar
. Compression support implemented in the loader.Loader
class.
_From @jbothma _
Is that something that you’d be willing to have in tabulator? Our treasury has been publishing some files we’d like to use in fiscal data packages in rar archives.

Hi @jbothma. It would be great! I’ve added an implementation plan to the issue.
To be honest I don’t recall why I made this request any more. I suspect it was due to this tool https://github.com/vulekamali/data-checks which uses goodtables to try and check tabular data against a schema and some custom python checks more strict than the goodtables site (and also check the entire file, not just a number of rows)
It’s intended for treasury officials to be able to upload a file, get a public URL, make datapackage file referring to the data file using a pull request, and see if the pull request passes CI. And every behaviour change is a battle that’s sometimes easier to solve with code.
The request might make sense if a CSV in a zip is already supported by goodtables (no idea if it is?)
But to be honest, I’m grabbing at straws and I don’t currently see a need for this.
