`tablewriter` is a Go library for generating **rich text-based tables** with support for multiple output formats, including ASCII, Unicode, Markdown, HTML, and colorized terminals. Perfect for CLI tools, logs, and web applications.

### Key Features
- **Multi-format rendering**: ASCII, Unicode, Markdown, HTML, ANSI-colored
- **Advanced styling**: Cell merging, alignment, padding, borders
- **Flexible input**: CSV, structs, slices, or streaming data
- **High performance**: Minimal allocations, buffer reuse
- **Modern features**: Generics support, hierarchical merging, real-time streaming

---

### Installation

#### Legacy Version (v0.0.5)
For use with legacy applications:
```bash
go get github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter@v0.0.5
```

#### Latest  Version
The latest stable version
```bash
go get github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter@v1.1.3
```

**Warning:** Version `v1.0.0` contains missing functionality and should not be used.


> **Version Guidance**
> - Legacy: Use `v0.0.5` (stable)
> - New Features: Use `@latest` (includes generics, super fast streaming APIs)
> - Legacy Docs: See [README_LEGACY.md](README_LEGACY.md)

---

### Why TableWriter?
- **CLI Ready**: Instant compatibility with terminal outputs
- **Database Friendly**: Native support for `sql.Null*` types
- **Secure**: Auto-escaping for HTML/Markdown
- **Extensible**: Custom renderers and formatters

---

### Quick Example
```go
package main

import (
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	data := [][]string{
		{"Package", "Version", "Status"},
		{"tablewriter", "v0.0.5", "legacy"},
		{"tablewriter", "v1.1.3", "latest"},
	}

	table := tablewriter.NewWriter(os.Stdout)
	table.Header(data[0])
	table.Bulk(data[1:])
	table.Render()
}
```
**Output**:
```
┌─────────────┬─────────┬────────┐
│   PACKAGE   │ VERSION │ STATUS │
├─────────────┼─────────┼────────┤
│ tablewriter │ v0.0.5  │ legacy │
│ tablewriter │ v1.1.3  │ latest │
└─────────────┴─────────┴────────┘
```


## Detailed Usage

Create a table with `NewTable` or `NewWriter`, configure it using options or a `Config` struct, add data with `Append` or `Bulk`, and render to an `io.Writer`. Use renderers like `Blueprint` (ASCII), `HTML`, `Markdown`, `Colorized`, or `Ocean` (streaming).

Here's how the API primitives map to the generated ASCII table:

```
API Call                                  ASCII Table Component
--------                                  ---------------------

table.Header([]string{"NAME", "AGE"})     ┌──────┬─────┐  ← Borders.Top
                                          │ NAME │ AGE │  ← Header row
                                          ├──────┼─────┤  ← Lines.ShowTop (header separator)

table.Append([]string{"Alice", "25"})     │ Alice│ 25  │  ← Data row
                                          ├──────┼─────┤  ← Separators.BetweenRows

table.Append([]string{"Bob", "30"})       │ Bob  │ 30  │  ← Data row
                                          ├──────┼─────┤  ← Lines.ShowBottom (footer separator)

table.Footer([]string{"Total", "2"})      │ Total│ 2   │  ← Footer row
                                          └──────┴─────┘  ← Borders.Bottom
```

The core components include:

- **Renderer** - Implements the core interface for converting table data into output formats. Available renderers include Blueprint (ASCII), HTML, Markdown, Colorized (ASCII with color), Ocean (streaming ASCII), and SVG.

- **Config** - The root configuration struct that controls all table behavior and appearance
  - **Behavior** - Controls high-level rendering behaviors including auto-hiding empty columns, trimming row whitespace, header/footer visibility, and compact mode for optimized merged cell calculations
  - **CellConfig** - The comprehensive configuration template used for table sections (header, row, footer). Combines formatting, padding, alignment, filtering, callbacks, and width constraints with global and per-column control
  - **StreamConfig** - Configuration for streaming mode including enable/disable state and strict column validation

- **Rendition** - Defines how a renderer formats tables and contains the complete visual styling configuration
  - **Borders** - Control the outer frame visibility (top, bottom, left, right edges) of the table
  - **Lines** - Control horizontal boundary lines (above/below headers, above footers) that separate different table sections
  - **Separators** - Control the visibility of separators between rows and between columns within the table content
  - **Symbols** - Define the characters used for drawing table borders, corners, and junctions

These components can be configured with various `tablewriter.With*()` functional options when creating a new table.

## Examples

### Basic Examples

#### 1. Simple Tables

Create a basic table with headers and rows.


##### default 

```go
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter"
	"os"
)

type Age int

func (a Age) String() string {
	return fmt.Sprintf("%d yrs", a)
}

func main() {
	data := [][]any{
		{"Alice", Age(25), "New York"},
		{"Bob", Age(30), "Boston"},
	}

	table := tablewriter.NewTable(os.Stdout)
	table.Header("Name", "Age", "City")
	table.Bulk(data)
	table.Render()
}
```

**Output**:

```
┌───────┬────────┬──────────┐
│ NAME  │  AGE   │   CITY   │
├───────┼────────┼──────────┤
│ Alice │ 25 yrs │ New York │
│ Bob   │ 30 yrs │ Boston   │
└───────┴────────┴──────────┘

```


##### with customization 


```go
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter"
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter/renderer"
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter/tw"
	"os"
)

type Age int

func (a Age) String() string {
	return fmt.Sprintf("%d yrs", a)
}

func main() {
	data := [][]any{
		{"Alice", Age(25), "New York"},
		{"Bob", Age(30), "Boston"},
	}

	symbols := tw.NewSymbolCustom("Nature").
		WithRow("~").
		WithColumn("|").
		WithTopLeft("🌱").
		WithTopMid("🌿").
		WithTopRight("🌱").
		WithMidLeft("🍃").
		WithCenter("❀").
		WithMidRight("🍃").
		WithBottomLeft("🌻").
		WithBottomMid("🌾").
		WithBottomRight("🌻")

	table := tablewriter.NewTable(os.Stdout, tablewriter.WithRenderer(renderer.NewBlueprint(tw.Rendition{Symbols: symbols})))
	table.Header("Name", "Age", "City")
	table.Bulk(data)
	table.Render()
}
```

```
🌱~~~~~~❀~~~~~~~~❀~~~~~~~~~🌱
| NAME  |  AGE   |   CITY   |
🍃~~~~~~❀~~~~~~~~❀~~~~~~~~~🍃
| Alice | 25 yrs | New York |
| Bob   | 30 yrs | Boston   |
🌻~~~~~~❀~~~~~~~~❀~~~~~~~~~🌻
```

See [symbols example](https://github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter/blob/master/_example/symbols/main.go) for more

#### 2. Markdown Table

Generate a Markdown table for documentation.

```go
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter"
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter/renderer"
	"os"
	"strings"
	"unicode"
)

type Name struct {
	First string
	Last  string
}

// this will be ignored since  Format() is present
func (n Name) String() string {
	return fmt.Sprintf("%s %s", n.First, n.Last)
}

// Note: Format() overrides String() if both exist.
func (n Name) Format() string {
	return fmt.Sprintf("%s %s", n.clean(n.First), n.clean(n.Last))
}

// clean ensures the first letter is capitalized and the rest are lowercase
func (n Name) clean(s string) string {
	s = strings.TrimSpace(strings.ToLower(s))
	words := strings.Fields(s)
	s = strings.Join(words, "")

	if s == "" {
		return s
	}
	// Capitalize the first letter
	runes := []rune(s)
	runes[0] = unicode.ToUpper(runes[0])
	return string(runes)
}

type Age int

// Age int will be ignore and string will be used
func (a Age) String() string {
	return fmt.Sprintf("%d yrs", a)
}

func main() {
	data := [][]any{
		{Name{"Al  i  CE", " Ma  SK"}, Age(25), "New York"},
		{Name{"bOb", "mar   le   y"}, Age(30), "Boston"},
	}

	table := tablewriter.NewTable(os.Stdout,
		tablewriter.WithRenderer(renderer.NewMarkdown()),
	)

	table.Header([]string{"Name", "Age", "City"})
	table.Bulk(data)
	table.Render()
}
```

**Output**:

```
|    NAME    |  AGE   |   CITY   |
|:----------:|:------:|:--------:|
| Alice Mask | 25 yrs | New York |
| Bob Marley | 30 yrs | Boston   |


```

#### 3. CSV Input

Create a table from a CSV file with custom row alignment.

```go
package main

import (
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter"
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter/tw"
	"log"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	// Assuming "test.csv" contains: "First Name,Last Name,SSN\nJohn,Barry,123456\nKathy,Smith,687987"
	table, err := tablewriter.NewCSV(os.Stdout, "test.csv", true)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Error: %v", err)
	}

	table.Configure(func(config *tablewriter.Config) {
		config.Row.Alignment.Global = tw.AlignLeft
	})
	table.Render()
}
```

**Output**:

```
┌────────────┬───────────┬─────────┐
│ FIRST NAME │ LAST NAME │   SSN   │
├────────────┼───────────┼─────────┤
│ John       │ Barry     │ 123456  │
│ Kathy      │ Smith     │ 687987  │
└────────────┴───────────┴─────────┘
```

### Advanced Examples

#### 4. Colorized Table with Long Values

Create a colorized table with wrapped long values, per-column colors, and a styled footer (inspired by `TestColorizedLongValues` and `TestColorizedCustomColors`).

```go
package main

import (
	"github.com/fatih/color"
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter"
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter/renderer"
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter/tw"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	data := [][]string{
		{"1", "This is a very long description that needs wrapping for readability", "OK"},
		{"2", "Short description", "DONE"},
		{"3", "Another lengthy description requiring truncation or wrapping", "ERROR"},
	}

	// Configure colors: green headers, cyan/magenta rows, yellow footer
	colorCfg := renderer.ColorizedConfig{
		Header: renderer.Tint{
			FG: renderer.Colors{color.FgGreen, color.Bold}, // Green bold headers
			BG: renderer.Colors{color.BgHiWhite},
		},
		Column: renderer.Tint{
			FG: renderer.Colors{color.FgCyan}, // Default cyan for rows
			Columns: []renderer.Tint{
				{FG: renderer.Colors{color.FgMagenta}}, // Magenta for column 0
				{},                                     // Inherit default (cyan)
				{FG: renderer.Colors{color.FgHiRed}},   // High-intensity red for column 2
			},
		},
		Footer: renderer.Tint{
			FG: renderer.Colors{color.FgYellow, color.Bold}, // Yellow bold footer
			Columns: []renderer.Tint{
				{},                                      // Inherit default
				{FG: renderer.Colors{color.FgHiYellow}}, // High-intensity yellow for column 1
				{},                                      // Inherit default
			},
		},
		Border:    renderer.Tint{FG: renderer.Colors{color.FgWhite}}, // White borders
		Separator: renderer.Tint{FG: renderer.Colors{color.FgWhite}}, // White separators
	}

	table := tablewriter.NewTable(os.Stdout,
		tablewriter.WithRenderer(renderer.NewColorized(colorCfg)),
		tablewriter.WithConfig(tablewriter.Config{
			Row: tw.CellConfig{
				Formatting:   tw.CellFormatting{AutoWrap: tw.WrapNormal}, // Wrap long content
				Alignment:    tw.CellAlignment{Global: tw.AlignLeft},     // Left-align rows
				ColMaxWidths: tw.CellWidth{Global: 25},
			},
			Footer: tw.CellConfig{
				Alignment: tw.CellAlignment{Global: tw.AlignRight},
			},
		}),
	)

	table.Header([]string{"ID", "Description", "Status"})
	table.Bulk(data)
	table.Footer([]string{"", "Total", "3"})
	table.Render()
}
```

**Output** (colors visible in ANSI-compatible terminals):

![Colorized Table with Long Values](_readme/color_1.png "Title")

#### 5. Streaming Table with Truncation

Stream a table incrementally with truncation and a footer, simulating a real-time data feed (inspired by `TestOceanStreamTruncation` and `TestOceanStreamSlowOutput`).

```go
package main

import (
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter"
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter/tw"
	"log"
	"os"
	"time"
)

func main() {
	table := tablewriter.NewTable(os.Stdout, tablewriter.WithStreaming(tw.StreamConfig{Enable: true}))

	// Start streaming
	if err := table.Start(); err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Start failed: %v", err)
	}

	defer table.Close()

	// Stream header
	table.Header([]string{"ID", "Description", "Status"})

	// Stream rows with simulated delay
	data := [][]string{
		{"1", "This description is too long", "OK"},
		{"2", "Short desc", "DONE"},
		{"3", "Another long description here", "ERROR"},
	}
	for _, row := range data {
		table.Append(row)
		time.Sleep(500 * time.Millisecond) // Simulate real-time data feed
	}

	// Stream footer
	table.Footer([]string{"", "Total", "3"})
}
```

**Output** (appears incrementally):

```
┌────────┬───────────────┬──────────┐
│   ID   │  DESCRIPTION  │  STATUS  │
├────────┼───────────────┼──────────┤
│ 1      │ This          │ OK       │
│        │ description   │          │
│        │ is too long   │          │
│ 2      │ Short desc    │ DONE     │
│ 3      │ Another long  │ ERROR    │
│        │ description   │          │
│        │ here          │          │
├────────┼───────────────┼──────────┤
│        │         Total │        3 │
└────────┴───────────────┴──────────┘
```

**Note**: Long descriptions are truncated with `…` due to fixed column widths. The output appears row-by-row, simulating a real-time feed.

#### 6. Hierarchical Merging for Organizational Data

Show hierarchical merging for a tree-like structure, such as an organizational hierarchy (inspired by `TestMergeHierarchicalUnicode`).

```go
package main

import (
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter"
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter/renderer"
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter/tw"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	data := [][]string{
		{"Engineering", "Backend", "API Team", "Alice"},
		{"Engineering", "Backend", "Database Team", "Bob"},
		{"Engineering", "Frontend", "UI Team", "Charlie"},
		{"Marketing", "Digital", "SEO Team", "Dave"},
		{"Marketing", "Digital", "Content Team", "Eve"},
	}

	table := tablewriter.NewTable(os.Stdout,
		tablewriter.WithRenderer(renderer.NewBlueprint(tw.Rendition{
			Settings: tw.Settings{Separators: tw.Separators{BetweenRows: tw.On}},
		})),
		tablewriter.WithConfig(tablewriter.Config{
			Header: tw.CellConfig{Alignment: tw.CellAlignment{Global: tw.AlignCenter}},
			Row: tw.CellConfig{
				Merging: tw.CellMerging{Mode: tw.MergeHierarchical},
				Alignment:  tw.CellAlignment{Global: tw.AlignLeft},
			},
		}),
	)
	table.Header([]string{"Department", "Division", "Team", "Lead"})
	table.Bulk(data)
	table.Render()
}
```

**Output**:

```
┌────────────┬──────────┬──────────────┬────────┐
│ DEPARTMENT │ DIVISION │    TEAM      │  LEAD  │
├────────────┼──────────┼──────────────┼────────┤
│ Engineering│ Backend  │ API Team     │ Alice  │
│            │          ├──────────────┼────────┤
│            │          │ Database Team│ Bob    │
│            │ Frontend ├──────────────┼────────┤
│            │          │ UI Team      │ Charlie│
├────────────┼──────────┼──────────────┼────────┤
│ Marketing  │ Digital  │ SEO Team     │ Dave   │
│            │          ├──────────────┼────────┤
│            │          │ Content Team │ Eve    │
└────────────┴──────────┴──────────────┴────────┘
```

**Note**: Hierarchical merging groups repeated values (e.g., "Engineering" spans multiple rows, "Backend" spans two teams), creating a tree-like structure.

#### 7. Custom Padding with Merging

Showcase custom padding and combined horizontal/vertical merging (inspired by `TestMergeWithPadding` in `merge_test.go`).

```go
package main

import (
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter"
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter/renderer"
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter/tw"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	data := [][]string{
		{"1/1/2014", "Domain name", "Successful", "Successful"},
		{"1/1/2014", "Domain name", "Pending", "Waiting"},
		{"1/1/2014", "Domain name", "Successful", "Rejected"},
		{"", "", "TOTAL", "$145.93"},
	}

	table := tablewriter.NewTable(os.Stdout,
		tablewriter.WithRenderer(renderer.NewBlueprint(tw.Rendition{
			Settings: tw.Settings{Separators: tw.Separators{BetweenRows: tw.On}},
		})),
		tablewriter.WithConfig(tablewriter.Config{
			Row: tw.CellConfig{
				Merging:   tw.CellMerging{Mode: tw.MergeBoth},
				Alignment: tw.CellAlignment{PerColumn: []tw.Align{tw.Skip, tw.Skip, tw.AlignRight, tw.AlignLeft}},
			},

			Footer: tw.CellConfig{
				Padding: tw.CellPadding{
					Global:    tw.Padding{Left: "*", Right: "*"},
					PerColumn: []tw.Padding{{}, {}, {Bottom: "^"}, {Bottom: "^"}},
				},
				Alignment: tw.CellAlignment{PerColumn: []tw.Align{tw.Skip, tw.Skip, tw.AlignRight, tw.AlignLeft}},
			},
		}),
	)
	table.Header([]string{"Date", "Description", "Status", "Conclusion"})
	table.Bulk(data)
	table.Render()
}
```

**Output**:

```
┌──────────┬─────────────┬────────────┬────────────┐
│   DATE   │ DESCRIPTION │   STATUS   │ CONCLUSION │
├──────────┼─────────────┼────────────┴────────────┤
│ 1/1/2014 │ Domain name │              Successful │
│          │             ├────────────┬────────────┤
│          │             │    Pending │ Waiting    │
│          │             ├────────────┼────────────┤
│          │             │ Successful │ Rejected   │
├──────────┼─────────────┼────────────┼────────────┤
│          │             │      TOTAL │ $145.93    │
│          │             │^^^^^^^^^^^^│^^^^^^^^^^^^│
└──────────┴─────────────┴────────────┴────────────┘
```

#### 8. Nested Tables

Create a table with nested sub-tables for complex layouts (inspired by `TestMasterClass` in `extra_test.go`).

```go
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter"
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter/renderer"
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter/tw"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	// Helper to create a sub-table
	createSubTable := func(s string) string {
		var buf bytes.Buffer
		table := tablewriter.NewTable(&buf,
			tablewriter.WithRenderer(renderer.NewBlueprint(tw.Rendition{
				Borders: tw.BorderNone,
				Symbols: tw.NewSymbols(tw.StyleASCII),
				Settings: tw.Settings{
					Separators: tw.Separators{BetweenRows: tw.On},
					Lines:      tw.Lines{ShowFooterLine: tw.On},
				},
			})),
			tablewriter.WithConfig(tablewriter.Config{
				MaxWidth: 10,
				Row:      tw.CellConfig{Alignment: tw.CellAlignment{Global: tw.AlignCenter}},
			}),
		)
		table.Append([]string{s, s})
		table.Append([]string{s, s})
		table.Render()
		return buf.String()
	}

	// Main table
	table := tablewriter.NewTable(os.Stdout,
		tablewriter.WithRenderer(renderer.NewBlueprint(tw.Rendition{
			Borders:  tw.BorderNone,
			Settings: tw.Settings{Separators: tw.Separators{BetweenColumns: tw.On}},
		})),
		tablewriter.WithConfig(tablewriter.Config{
			MaxWidth: 30,
			Row:      tw.CellConfig{Alignment: tw.CellAlignment{Global: tw.AlignCenter}},
		}),
	)
	table.Append([]string{createSubTable("A"), createSubTable("B")})
	table.Append([]string{createSubTable("C"), createSubTable("D")})
	table.Render()
}
```

**Output**:

```
  A | A  │  B | B  
 ---+--- │ ---+--- 
  A | A  │  B | B  
  C | C  │  D | D  
 ---+--- │ ---+--- 
  C | C  │  D | D   
```

#### 9. Structs with Database

Render a table from a slice of structs, simulating a database query (inspired by `TestStructTableWithDB` in `struct_test.go`).

```go
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter"
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter/renderer"
	"github.com/olekukonko/tablewriter/tw"
	"os"
)

type Employee struct {
	ID         int
	Name       string
	Age        int
	Department string
	Salary     float64
}

func employeeStringer(e interface{}) []string {
	emp, ok := e.(Employee)
	if !ok {
		return []string{"Error: Invalid type"}
	}
	return []string{
		fmt.Sprintf("%d", emp.ID),
		emp.Name,
		fmt.Sprintf("%d", emp.Age),
		emp.Department,
		fmt.Sprintf("%.2f", emp.Salary),
	}
}

func main() {
	employees := []Employee{
		{ID: 1, Name: "Alice Smith", Age: 28, Department: "Engineering", Salary: 75000.50},
		{ID: 2, Name: "Bob Johnson", Age: 34, Department: "Marketing", Salary: 62000.00},
		{ID: 3, Name: "Charlie Brown", Age: 45, Department: "HR", Salary: 80000.75},
	}

	table := tablewriter.NewTable(os.Stdout,
		tablewriter.WithRenderer(renderer.NewBlueprint(tw.Rendition{
			Symbols: tw.NewSymbols(tw.StyleRounded),
		})),
		tablewriter.WithStringer(employeeStringer),
		tablewriter.WithConfig(tablewriter.Config{
			Header: tw.CellConfig{
				Formatting: tw.CellFormatting{AutoFormat: tw.On},
				Alignment:  tw.CellAlignment{Global: tw.AlignCenter},
			},
			Row:    tw.CellConfig{Alignment: tw.CellAlignment{Global: tw.AlignLeft}},
			Footer: tw.CellConfig{Alignment: tw.CellAlignment{Global: tw.AlignRight}},
