<p>
    {% trans %}
    <b>Bonobo</b> is an <b>Extract Transform Load</b> (or ETL) framework for the <b>Python (3.5+)</b> language.
    {% endtrans %}
</p>

<p>
    {% trans %}
    It works by streaming data through a directed acyclic graph of python callables, one row at a time.
    {% endtrans %}
</p>

<p>
    {% trans %}
    It is targeting <b>small scale data</b> (as in “not big data”), allowing it to be quick and easy to install (no
    client-server, no daemon, lightweight requirements, no surprises).
    {% endtrans %}
</p>
<p>
    {% trans %}
    Most common file formats (XML, CSV, JSON, Excel, ...) and basic services (SQL databases, REST web services, ...) can
    be worked with using the built-in or extension libraries, other services can benefit the richness of PyPI.
    {% endtrans %}
</p>
<p>
    {% trans %}
    In short, <b>Bonobo</b> contains the logic to execute efficiently an ETL process, the glue to use plain old python
    objects and common operations, readers and writers. For the rest, it's just python!
