Get started with Kotlin DataFrame on Gradle with custom configuration

Edit pageLast modified: 05 June 2025

Gradle

The Kotlin DataFrame library is published to Maven Central, so you can add the following line to your Kotlin DSL buildscript to depend on it:

General configuration

plugins {
    id("org.jetbrains.kotlinx.dataframe") version "1.0.0-Beta2"
}

dependencies {
    implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:dataframe:1.0.0-Beta2")
}

// Below only applies to Android projects
android {
    defaultConfig {
        minSdk = 26 // Android O+
    }
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = "1.8"
    }
    packaging {
        resources {
            pickFirsts += listOf(
                "META-INF/AL2.0",
                "META-INF/LGPL2.1",
                "META-INF/ASL-2.0.txt",
                "META-INF/LICENSE.md",
                "META-INF/NOTICE.md",
                "META-INF/LGPL-3.0.txt",
                "META-INF/thirdparty-LICENSE",
            )
            excludes += listOf(
                "META-INF/kotlin-jupyter-libraries/libraries.json",
                "META-INF/{INDEX.LIST,DEPENDENCIES}",
                "{draftv3,draftv4}/schema",
                "arrow-git.properties",
            )
        }
    }
}
tasks.withType<org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile> {
    kotlinOptions.jvmTarget = "1.8"
}

Note that it's better to use the same version for a library and plugin to avoid unpredictable errors. After plugin configuration, you can try it out, for example.

Custom configuration

If you want to avoid adding unnecessary dependencies, you can choose from the following artifacts:

dependencies {
    // Artifact containing all APIs and implementations
    implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:dataframe-core:1.0.0-Beta2")
    // Optional formats support
    implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:dataframe-json:1.0.0-Beta2")
    implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:dataframe-csv:1.0.0-Beta2")
    implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:dataframe-excel:1.0.0-Beta2")
    implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:dataframe-jdbc:1.0.0-Beta2")
    implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:dataframe-arrow:1.0.0-Beta2")

    // experimental
    implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:dataframe-openapi:1.0.0-Beta2")

    // experimental
    // This artifact is only needed to directly call functions that generate @DataSchema code from OpenAPI specifications
    // It's used by Gradle and KSP plugins internally.
    // Your project needs dataframe-openapi to use generated code
    implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:dataframe-openapi-generator:1.0.0-Beta2")
}

note

`dataframe-json` is included with `dataframe-csv` and `dataframe-excel` by default. This is to interact with JSON structures inside CSV and Excel files. If you don't need this functionality, you can exclude it like: ```kts implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:dataframe-csv:1.0.0-Beta2") { exclude("org.jetbrains.kotlinx", "dataframe-json") } ```

Linter configuration

We provide a Gradle plugin that generates interfaces with your data. If you're using any sort of linter, it might complain about them generated sources.

Use a configuration similar to this to prevent your linter from complaining about the formatting of the generated sources.

// Exclusions for `kotlinter`, if you use it:
tasks.withType<org.jmailen.gradle.kotlinter.tasks.LintTask> {
    exclude {
        it.name.endsWith(".Generated.kt")
    }
    exclude {
        it.name.endsWith("\$Extensions.kt")
    }
}
