Peter Parquet Reader is a fun and powerful developer tool that lets you preview Parquet file schemas directly in the browser. It uses:
- ⚙️ Go + WebAssembly (WASM)
- 📦 parquet-go by Twilio
- 🖼️ Vue 3 for a snappy UI
Parsing Parquet files on the frontend is usually not possible due to their binary structure. But thanks to Go and WebAssembly, Peter Parquet reads them like a superhero — directly in your browser.
- 🗂️ Visualize complex Parquet schemas
- 🧠 Uses native Go performance through WebAssembly
- 🧩 Lightweight, embeddable Vue 3 component
- 🕸️ Inspired by Spider-Man, but with data powers
