janitor is an R package with simple, user-friendly functions for examining and cleaning dirty data, such as formatting data.frame column names and creating frequency (crosstab) tables. It is tidyverse-oriented and designed for beginning and intermediate R users.
Use cases
- clean messy column names in a dataframe
- make crosstabs and frequency tables in R
- remove empty rows and columns from a spreadsheet import
- find duplicate rows in a data frame
- replace Excel-style dates from readxl imports
- compare column names across multiple data frames
- reproduce SPSS or Excel tabulation output in R
When to choose
- you work in R with tidyverse and need quick data-cleaning helpers
- you import dirty data from Excel or CSV and want tidy column names and tables
- you want beginner-friendly functions for tabulating and exploring data frames
When to avoid
- you need a full ETL or data-validation framework with declarative rules
- you are not working in R
- you need high-performance processing of datasets beyond memory
