This package is archived and will no longer be maintained. Please see JuliaAPlavin/VOTables.jl for a well-maintained alternative.
A Tables.jl-based implementation of the VOTable standard. This allows simply accessing VOTables with Tables.jl sinks, like DataFrame from DataFrames.jl.
WARNING: This package is fairly unpolished, and I (mileslucas) don't have a ton of time for developing it. Please use at your own caution, and I would be very eager for contributions. The end goal is to have a good suite of tools for accessing SIMBAD and Vizier, which requires a reliable VOTable parser.
