Frictionless libraries

Make Frictionless libs compatible with latest version

Data Package is a standard consisting of a set of simple yet extensible specifications to describe datasets, data files and tabular data. It is a data definition language (DDL) and data API that facilitates findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability (FAIR) of data. This project will be updating and refactoring core libraries in the popular programming languages Python, R, and JavaScript to fully support Data Package v2 - the new version of the standard which was published in 2024. This ensures these tools remain reliable and interoperable.
