Available formats
*****************

Dace proposes to choose for certain queries the output format of the data through the ``output_format`` argument.

numpy.ndarray (default)
=======================

.. code-block:: python

    from dace_query.exoplanet import Exoplanet
    from numpy import ndarray
    # Type hint
    values: dict[str, ndarray] = Exoplanet.query_database(limit=10)
    values: dict[str, ndarray] = Exoplanet.query_database(output_format='numpy', limit=10)

dict
====

.. code-block:: python

    from dace_query.exoplanet import Exoplanet
    # Type hint
    values: dict = Exoplanet.query_database(output_format='dict', limit=10)

astropy.table.Table
===================

.. code-block:: python

    from dace_query.exoplanet import Exoplanet
    from astropy.table import Table
    # Type hint
    values: Table = Exoplanet.query_database(output_format='astropy_table', limit=10)


pandas.DataFrame
================

.. code-block:: python

    from dace_query.exoplanet import Exoplanet
    from pandas import DataFrame
    # Type hint
    values: DataFrame = Exoplanet.query_database(output_format='pandas', limit=10)
