# Using Polars in Gluestick

## Introduction to Polars

[Polars](https://pola.rs/) is a fast, efficient dataframe library designed to work with large datasets with a lower memory footprint compared to pandas. It’s ideal for scenarios where performance and scalability are crucial.

However, it is a newer library, so documentation may be sparse.

## PolarsReader and PLLazyFrameReader Classes

Gluestick now supports two additional reader classes specifically designed for Polars:

1. **`PolarsReader`**: Reads sync output into Polars Dataframes
2. **`PLLazyFrameReader`**: Reads sync output into Polars Lazyframes

Both classes inherit from the base `Reader` class.

For more information, see the [Polars docs](https://docs.pola.rs/api/python/stable/reference/index.html).
