Add xarray support #1806
Description
Missing functionality
ydata-profiling currently does not support xarray Dataset as inputs. I must manually convert my multi-dimensional dataset to pandas
Proposed feature
Add native support for xarray objects (xarray.Dataset and xarray.DataArray) as inputs to ProfileReport
Alternatives considered
- Converting xarray objects to pandas DataFrames (often infeasible for multi-dimensional or large datasets)
- Writing custom EDA code instead of using ydata-profiling
Additional context
xarray is widely used in climate science, geospatial analysis, remote sensing, and ML workflows.
I’d be happy to help with testing, example datasets, or documentation if this feature is of interest.
