# ⚡ speedtable
**speedtable** is an ultra-fast, C-based terminal table renderer for Python.
Designed for large datasets and low-latency rendering — with beautiful Rich-style Unicode output.
> 💡 Perfect for CLI tools, dataset previews, or any place you need fast + styled tables.
---
## 🚀 Features
- Blazing-fast C implementation 🔥
- Unicode box-style table formatting (like Rich’s `HEAVY_HEAD`)
- Bold, colored headers with optional column type labels
- Customizable:
- Header color
- Border color
- Body text color
- Type label color
- Title text and color (italicized, centered above the table)
---
## 📦 Installation
```bash
pip install speedtable
```
---
## 🧪 Example Usage
```python
import speedtable
table_data = {
"columns": [
{"name": "ID", "type": "int"},
{"name": "Name", "type": "str"},
{"name": "Age", "type": "int"}
],
"rows": [
{"ID": 1, "Name": "Luke", "Age": 21},
{"ID": 2, "Name": "Joe", "Age": 45},
{"ID": 3, "Name": "Alice", "Age": 56}
]
}
print(speedtable.render_table(
table_data,
header_color="green",
border_color="magenta",
body_color="white",
type_color="red",
title_text="Test Table",
title_color="cyan"
))
```

## 💡 Why speedtable?
The Python `rich` library is beautiful, but may be too slow for rendering large tables in CLI environments.
`speedtable` gives you the same polished aesthetic — at native speed.
