 "what": "dlt (data load tool) is an open source Python library that loads data from APIs, SQL databases, files, DataFrames and Arrow tables into typed datasets in more than twenty destinations. It handles credentials, DDL in the target dialect, type mapping, staging and schema drift, and adds decorators for incremental loading, merge write dispositions and schema contracts. Loaded data reads back through a Dataset API or as Ibis expressions.",
 "why": "6k stars, picked up by one AI source we track",

 "requirements": [
  "Python 3.10 through 3.14, with 3.14 support described as experimental",
  "`pip install dlt` plus the extras for your sources and destinations",
