::
>>> data = tablib.Dataset(headers=['First Name', 'Last Name', 'Age'])
>>> map(data.append, [('Kenneth', 'Reitz', 22), ('Bessie', 'Monke', 21)])
>>> data.json
[{"Last Name": "Reitz", "First Name": "Kenneth", "Age": 22}, {"Last Name": "Monke", "First Name": "Bessie", "Age": 21}]
>>> data.yaml
- {Age: 22, First Name: Kenneth, Last Name: Reitz}
- {Age: 21, First Name: Bessie, Last Name: Monke}
>>> data.xlsx

**Greg Thorton**
Tablib by @kennethreitz saved my life. I had to consolidate like 5 huge poorly maintained lists of domains and data. It was a breeze!
**Dave Coutts**
It's turning into one of my most used modules of 2010. You really hit a sweat spot for managing tabular data with a minimal amount of code and effort.
**Joshua Ourisman**
Tablib has made it so much easier to deal with the inevitable 'I want an Excel file!' requests from clients...
**Brad Montgomery**
I think you nailed the "Python Zen" with tablib. Thanks again for an awesome lib!
