print console tables.  xtable serves as both a class and a command line tool.

- [installation](#installation)
- [use the class](#use-the-class)
- [command line](#use-the-command-line) from CSV, preformatted table, JSON list to console table, JSON, markdown and more.
- [convert table data to Markdown](#markdown)

## Installation
    `pip install xtable`
   run it through xtable` or `python -mxtable`

below is a simple introduction for some basic usage.

if we look at the source code, we know class xtable support .pivot() as well,

                <font color="#33C7DE"><b>print</b></font>(xt.pivot<span style="background-color:#2AA1B3">()</span>)

### when header has space...
some command output is already a table, only not that decent, eg. as below. xtable will help a little bit.  `-c` told xtable that `container id` is together while `-t` told xtable the input stream is already in "table" format.
