This talk will give an update on the current state of the Queryverse. I will highlight packages for file IO (CSVFiles.jl, ExcelFiles.jl, StatFiles.jl, FeatherFiles.jl, ParquetFiles.jl), querying and manipulating data (Query.jl), visual data exploration (DataVoyager.jl) and graphics (VegaLite.jl). I will show how all of these pieces are designed to work together and provide a unified API for users that spans traditional tabular data and data in custom julia types. I will also highlight how the Queryverse integrates smoothly with all the other julia packages in this space.
