|
| 5 | +## Project Purpose |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +CleanGo aims to simplify and accelerate data cleaning processes, which are often the most time-consuming part of data analysis and machine learning workflows. By leveraging Go's performance and concurrency capabilities, CleanGo provides a robust toolkit for: |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +- **Efficient Data Processing**: Handle large datasets with minimal memory footprint and maximum CPU utilization |
| 10 | +- **Format Flexibility**: Seamlessly work with various data formats (CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, Excel, Parquet) without needing multiple tools |
| 11 | +- **Consistent API**: Use the same clean interface whether working with small or big data |
| 12 | +- **Automation-Ready**: Integrate into data pipelines via library, CLI, or microservice approaches |
| 13 | +- **Parallel Processing**: Utilize all available CPU cores for data cleaning tasks that can be parallelized |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +Whether you're a data scientist cleaning datasets for analysis, a developer building ETL pipelines, or a data engineer maintaining data quality, CleanGo provides the tools to make your data cleaning processes faster and more efficient. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## Use Cases |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +CleanGo is designed to address a variety of data cleaning challenges: |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +- **Data Preparation for Analysis**: Clean and transform raw data before feeding it into analysis tools or machine learning models |
| 22 | +- **ETL Processes**: Extract data from various sources, transform it with cleaning operations, and load it into target systems |
| 23 | +- **Data Migration**: Convert data between different formats while applying cleaning rules |
| 24 | +- **Data Quality Assurance**: Standardize dates, normalize text, handle missing values, and remove outliers |
| 25 | +- **Batch Processing**: Process large datasets efficiently with parallel execution |
| 26 | +- **Microservice Architecture**: Deploy as a standalone service for data cleaning operations in distributed systems |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +## Target Audience |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +- **Data Scientists**: Who need to clean and prepare datasets for analysis and modeling |
| 31 | +- **Data Engineers**: Building robust data pipelines that require cleaning steps |
| 32 | +- **Backend Developers**: Integrating data cleaning capabilities into Go applications |
| 33 | +- **DevOps Engineers**: Looking for efficient tools to include in data processing workflows |
| 34 | +- **Analysts**: Who work with data from multiple sources and need to standardize formats |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +## Performance |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +CleanGo is built with performance in mind: |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +- **Parallel Processing**: Automatically distributes work across available CPU cores |
| 41 | +- **Memory Efficiency**: Processes data in chunks to minimize memory usage |
| 42 | +- **Optimized Algorithms**: Uses efficient algorithms for common cleaning operations |
| 43 | +- **Go's Speed**: Leverages the performance benefits of compiled Go code |
| 44 | +- **Benchmarked Operations**: Core operations are benchmarked to ensure optimal performance |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +In benchmark tests, CleanGo can process millions of rows per second on modern hardware, making it suitable for both small datasets and large-scale data processing tasks. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +## Architecture |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +CleanGo follows a modular architecture: |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +- **Core DataFrame**: Central data structure that holds and manipulates tabular data |
| 53 | +- **Format Handlers**: Specialized modules for reading/writing different file formats (CSV, JSON, XML, Excel, Parquet) |
| 54 | +- **Cleaning Operations**: Individual functions for specific cleaning tasks |
| 55 | +- **Parallel Framework**: Infrastructure for executing operations in parallel |
| 56 | +- **CLI Layer**: Command-line interface for direct usage |
| 57 | +- **API Layer**: REST and gRPC interfaces for service-oriented usage |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +This modular design allows for easy extension with new formats or cleaning operations while maintaining a consistent interface. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +## Future Plans |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +The CleanGo project is actively developed with the following features planned for future releases: |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +- **Additional Data Formats**: Support for more specialized formats like Avro, ORC, and database connections |
| 66 | +- **Advanced Cleaning Operations**: More sophisticated data cleaning algorithms including fuzzy matching and ML-based anomaly detection |
| 67 | +- **Streaming Support**: Process data in streaming mode for real-time applications |
| 68 | +- **Web UI**: A simple web interface for interactive data cleaning |
| 69 | +- **Plugin System**: Allow third-party extensions for custom formats and operations |
| 70 | +- **Cloud Integration**: Native connectors for cloud storage services (S3, GCS, Azure Blob) |
| 71 | +- **Performance Optimizations**: Continuous improvements to processing speed and memory usage |
| 72 | + |
