# visions and ydata-profiling (`visions`)

visions is a Python library for semantic type detection and inference on tabular data. It organizes types, such as URL, Path, File, Image, UUID, IPAddress, email address, Geometry, Date and DateTime, in typesets and tests which type fits a series. ydata-profiling (formerly pandas-profiling) uses it to infer column types for its data profile reports. The types are Python-level kinds of values, many are broader than registry datatypes. The supported types cover only registry datatypes that match a documented type.
